[BRLTTY] License of BRLTTY

[quoted lines by Ondřej Lysoněk on 2018/03/05 at 17:52 +0100]

>is any part of BRLTTY licensed under a different license than LGPL? 

No, it's all LGPL.

>It says in the top-level README file the following: [quote] "Version 2.1 (or 
>any later version) of the LGPL may be used when redistributing and/or 
>modifying this software. This statement applies to all the files contained 
>within this directory structure except for those which are explicitly listed 
>as exceptions within the following paragraphs" [end quote]. However, there are 
>no paragraphs indicating a different license for any part of BRLTTY.

That statement was left as a place-holder. Maybe it causes too much confusion 
and should be removed.

>Also, the file brltty.spec.in still says that the license is GPL.

That's an oversight. I'll fix it.
