Re: --lock-flags now configurable, and some mu_argp reorg

No, it is not. First stanza from mailutils/COPYING is:

                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

It's plain GPL


> mailutils/mailbox is LGPL

Yes, it is, except md5-rsa.c The md5-rsa license is incompatible with
both GPL and LGPL, since it allows "copy and use [of] this software",
but does not allow modifying it. (By the way, I have had certain problems
due to this module in Radius project and had to get rid of it in order
for the whole package to fall under GPL. I seem to have discussed these
issues with Alain).

Here's a list of modules from lib which are GPL-ed:

argcv.c
basename.c
fnmatch.c
getopt.c
getopt1.c
malloc.c
md5.c
mu_argp.c
mu_dbm.c
realloc.c
strcasecmp.c
xmalloc.c
xstrdup.c
xstrtol.c

I'm not a lawyer, but as far as I know the "stronger" (i.e. stricter)
license takes precedence over the "weaker", so the whole lib/ should
be assumed to fall under GPL. I may be wrong, though...

Of course, no. It's a splendid idea.
