+
+* LGPLv2.1
+
+The library part is distributed under LGPLv2.1. See lgpl-2.1.txt for details.
+This applies to:
+
+-) lttng.h
+-) liblttngctl.c
+
+LGPL-compatible source code can statically use the library header using:
+
+#define _LGPL_SOURCE
+#include <lttng/lttng.h>
+
+Dynamic-only linking with the LGPL library is used if _LGPL_SOURCE is not
+defined. It permits relinking with newer versions of the library, which is
+required by the LGPL license.
+
+* GPLv2
+
+All remaining source code is distributed under the GPLv2 license. See
+gpl-2.0.txt for details.
