Hi there,

I have a question about the compatibility of two software licenses in
util-linux. Here is an example:

The file text-utils/hexdump-parse.c is licensed under the BSD-4-Clause license.
This file includes the header file include/xalloc.h, which is licensed
under the LGPL.

According to the GNU licence compatibility list
(https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html.en#OriginalBSD),
this combination of licenses is not allowed.

I would like to know:

How can the resulting binary from this combination be used in a
license-compliant manner?
Are there any possible solutions or workarounds to resolve the license
incompatibility?

Any insight or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your time.

Best regards,
Mario
