The License of efibootmgr

[hiroFuse]

Dear efibootmgr maintainer.

I am trying to use efibootmgr.
Then I checked the license of efibootmgr at first.

I found the COPYING file in the top of github repository.

• https://github.com/rhboot/efibootmgr/blob/main/COPYING

This COPYING includes GPLv2 statement.

But I found following lines in src/fix_coverity.h

• https://github.com/rhboot/efibootmgr/blob/main/src/fix_coverity.h

/*
 * fix_coverity.h
 * Copyright 2017 Peter Jones <[email protected]>
 *
 * Distributed under terms of the GPLv3 license.
 */

And some files include "fix_coverity.h" file.

• https://github.com/rhboot/efibootmgr/blob/main/src/efibootmgr.c

It seems that current efibootmgr is GPLv3.

I also checked efivar git repository in https://github.com/rhboot/efivar
This repository also include src/fix_coverity.h, but the license is LGPL-2.1

• https://github.com/rhboot/efivar/blob/main/src/fix_coverity.h

// SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1-or-later
/*
 * fix_coverity.h
 * Copyright 2017 Peter Jones <[email protected]>
 *
 */

And I also found following commit to change the license of src/fix_coverity.h
from GPLv3 to LGPLv2.1 or later

• rhboot/efivar@ce42f1d

So I confused to identify correct license of efibootmgr.

I want to know the efibootmgr maintainers opinion.

Regards,
