Re: [RFC 0/1] Contributing a compound object to the libpthread

Hi Adhemerval,

Just out of curiosity, may I ask why? Just to blindly obey the rules?
My code is not going to conflict with general LGPL license. It is a
client level only feature which is not needed unless you have
server/worker threads. The library itself will not depend on it. From
library's perspective that'll be a kind of dead code inclusion.
It's only when user decides to use (invoke) the code - that'll be
his/her deliberate decision and his/her deliberate obligation in
addition to LGPL.

After all, I would judge based on the feature's benefits or lack of those first.
