 Replying to [comment:4 benoit.triquet@…]:
 > Thanks for the rapid inclusion, tips and fixes (I should learn more
 about libtool and pkgconfig).

 No worries; pkgconfig is easy to forget, since everybody already has it
 installed. One of the reasons why we have the buildbots is to catch
 problems like these so that we can quickly fix them before users notice.

 statement "GPL v2" on the webpage.

 not a willful decision to make the entire package GPL v2 except some files
 GPL v2+. There are 4 header files that do not have their own license but
 they are headers of source files that are indeed GPL v2+ so this cannot be
 meaningful.

 There's also the manpage which says:

 {{{
 LICENCE
        dfu-util is covered by the GNU General Public License (GPL),
 version 2 or later.
 }}}
