Hi (again… sorry),

It seems that tumblerd (the dbus service) is licensed under GPL and tumbler (the lib) under LGPL.
But a few headers in tumbler/* contains the gpl comment, which would probably make libtumbler gpl instead of lgpl since they are apparently linked together:

- tumbler/tumbler-provider-plugin.c
- tumbler/tumbler-thumbnail-flavor.h
- tumbler/tumbler-thumbnail-flavor.c
- tumbler/tumbler-thumbnailer.c
- tumbler/tumbler-cache-plugin.h
- tumbler/tumbler-cache-plugin.c

I think it is another occurrence of the "unfortunate copy/paste" curse. :)
Thanks!

Yes, this is a copy and paste mistake. tumblerd is supposed to be GPL, the tumbler library is LGPL.

    Use LGPL instead of GPL license headers in the library (bug #6781).
