Description Emilio Pozuelo Monfort 2010-11-12 17:27:21 UTC 
libnotify 0.7 has introduced a new file, libnotify/notify-features.h.in, which is licensed as GPL. Apparently NOTIFY_CHECK_VERSION is currently unused so I'm not sure that means the whole library is contaminated and the result is thus GPL, but just in case that should be relicensed to LGPL 2.1+.
