Hi, today I checked the release of 0.7 and the latest's ust.git. Looks this inconsistency in manual and source cde is still there?
Do we have a plan to fix it? 

And, the COPYING only mentions "GPLv2 or any later version", but doesn't mention LGPL at all.
And, the files in ust.git/snprintf/ has a BSD license header.
So, what's the "overall" license of lttng-ust -- "LGPL2.1+ & BSD"? 

Could you please clarify my questions? Thanks very much!

Thanks,
 -- Dexuan
