+LTTng, UST and LTTV are developed by an open community. LTTng is released under
+a dual Gnu LGPLv2.1/GPLv2 license, except for very few kernel-specific files
+which are derived work from the Linux kernel.

+LTTV is available under the Gnu GPLv2. The low-level LTTV trace reading library
+is released under Gnu LGPLv2.1.

+The Eclipse LTTng trace analysis tool is released under the EPL and uses the
+LTTV trace reading library (LGPLv2.1).

+The UST (Userspace Tracing) and the Userspace RCU libraries are released under
+the LGPLv2.1 license, which allows linking with non-GPL (BSD, proprietary...)
+applications. The associated headers are released under MIT-style/BSD-style
+licenses.
