I would suggest:

NOTE: Although vfs has been ment to be implemented as a separate entity 
redistributable under the LGPL in its current implementation it uses 
GPLed code from src/. So there are two possibilities if you want to use vfs:

1. Distribute your copy of vfs under the GPL. Then you can freely 
include the GPLed functions from the rest of the mc source code.

2. Distribute your copy of vfs under the LGPL. Then you cannot include 
the functions outside the vfs subdirectory. You must then either rewrite 
them or work around them in other ways.
