libefs is also under LGPL.
Comment 2 Vitaly Lipatov 2005-05-02 12:45:57 MSD 
Поскольку этой библиотеке грозит забвение (obsoletes) в ближайшее время, 
а также разные части пакета идут под разными лицензиями, я оставлю как есть. 
Вреда от того, что там написано GPL, нет, поскольку это не приведёт к 
нарушению пользователем чьих либо прав.
