gnulib consists of many modules which have to be explicitly included in
your project. When you include a module it will pull in the source code
and build it together with the rest of your source, so you do not put
any additional build requirements on your users. Many of these modules
are under LGPL, some are under GPL. The ones that I used for the tools
are GPL. Naturally for the library we are only interested in the ones
that are LGPL. This has to be checked on a module by module basis. The
module unistd is released under LGPLv2+ (this can be checked in the list
of modules at http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/MODULES.html). So that
should be fine with us, as the liblouis library is LGPL.
Thanks
