Hi,
We recently performed a licensing audit of a larger software project incorporating the Alsa library 1.0.19. One issue we identified was that although the Alsa library purported to state that the library was licensed under the LGPL, there were still several files with third party copyright holders that indicated in their header that the file in question was licensed under the GPL.
Please, show us the list of files with different licenses to check. I found test files and aserver (which is not probably used widely and the code is optional) as GPL. The library itself (.a and .so binaries) should follow LGPL.
