                    code
           Product: Busybox
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux

  Target Milestone: ---

Hi there,

I found a possible license conflict in the files:
    - networking/inetd.c (includes libbb.h which is GPLv2 licensed)
    - util-linux/fdisk_osf.c (included in fdisk.c which is GPLv2 licensed)

These files are 4-Clause BSD licensed which is incompatible with GPL.

I have not found any statement in the license which resolves this issue.
