Hi,
Have I understood correctly that the libswupdate.so.0.1 shared library is covered by the "LGPLv2.1" license and not the default "GPLv2"?
Best regards

Yes, this is the reason for the shared library, and it is legal to link
closed source application to libswupdate.

Hi,
Interesting topic. It seems like the header compat.h included by network_ipc.c is licensed under GPL-2.0-only. What is your comment about this? Does this effectivley and unintentionally make the library GPL 2.0 too?

Thanks for reporting this. Conflicts were already solved, the header is
useless in network_ipc.c and the file can be compiled removing the
header. I send a patch for this.

It is unintentional, the header itself does not contain code from
external source and its license could also be put as LGPL, but it is not
required by the IPC code.

Thanks for reporting this. Conflicts were already solved, the header is
useless in network_ipc.c and the file can be compiled removing the
header. I send a patch for this.
What about strndupa and musl which it seems the compat.h is meant for? network_ipc.c uses strndupa in function ipc_postupdate.

It is unintentional, the header itself does not contain code from
external source and its license could also be put as LGPL, but it is not
required by the IPC code.

compat.h is intended to house compatibility "things" just like the compatibility mechanism we have for different Lua versions. Currently, it has something for musl and FreeBSD. More may come :)
