            Bug ID: 781422
           Summary: translate_wm_button_layout_to_gtk() is licensed under
                    the GPL
    Classification: Platform
           Product: gtk+
           Version: unspecified
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Backend: Wayland
          Assignee: gtk-bugs at gtk.org
          Reporter: waltona at vmware.com
        QA Contact: gtk-bugs at gtk.org
                CC: rob at robster.org.uk, wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

VMware legal unearthed a GPL licensed file during our open source license
validation steps for shipping a product with Gtk+ 3.x for the first time:
gtk+/gdk/wayland/wm-button-layout-translation.c. It appears to only export the
translate_wm_button_layout_to_gtk() symbol, but does so under the GPLv2:

#ifndef __WM_BUTTON_LAYOUT_TRANSLATION__
#define __WM_BUTTON_LAYOUT_TRANSLATION__

void translate_wm_button_layout_to_gtk (char *layout);

#endif
>>>

We aren't *incredibly* worried about this at the moment, as we cannot currently
enable the wayland backend for our shipped version of the library anyway, but
it will come up as an issue if and when we get there. Others may be much more
worried...
