Description of problem: Sorry, I had forgotten about this for RHEL-6.2 but I think it needs to be considered. autofs has (inadvertently) used some code from samba which is licensed under GPLv3 which makes autofs implicitly GPLv3. This isn't too bad since the autofs license statement reads as "GPLv2 or later". We have verified autofs as a GPLv2 product which is now incorrect. The copyright holder refused to allow autofs to use this code and retain GPLv2 status, probably because the GPLv3 license doesn't allow it but certainly because he believes in the GPLv3 license, which is fair enough. I didn't want to re-license autofs without due consideration so the code was re-written. This bug has been raised to replace that code with the GPLv2 licensed re-write.
Created attachment 515400 [details] Patch - replace GPLv3 code Upstream patch which replaces the GPLv3 code in question.
