This is what I infer and please correct me if I am wrong:
+ A LGPLv3+ library (eg., libroute) can link to a LGPLv2 or LGPLv2+
library (eg., libnl).
+ A GPLv2+ program can link to a LGPLv3 library (eg., libroute).
Now what is the license of NetworkManager? I see that src/wpa.c and
src/wpa.h is under GPLv2 (only) or BSD, while the rest of the files
seem to be under GPLv2+. Even the Fedora package tags it as GPLv2+.
Cheers,
