<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">According to Debian package[1], it actually uses multiple licenses:
The project util-linux doesn't use the same license for all of the code.
There is code under:
* GPLv3+ (GNU General Public License version 3, or any later version)
* GPLv2+ (GNU General Public License version 2, or any later version)
* GPLv2 (GNU General Public License version 2)
* LGPLv2+ (GNU Lesser General Public License v2 (or 2.1) or any later version)
* BSD with advertising
* Public Domain
Please, check the source code for more details. A license is usually at the start
of each source file.
The /COPYING file (GPLv2+) is the default license for code without an explicitly
defined license.

<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">This is the first of many parts of the overall goal of improving Asterisk APIs. This adds a UUID API to Asterisk, eventually to be used as a method of uniquely identifying channels and potentially other objects.
The implementation here uses libuuid, which is packaged by all major Linux distributions. The API is basically a wrapper around libuuid's API, but it hides all implementation details in case we want to switch out libraries at some point.
Licensing for libuuid is a bit confusing. On one hand, this online man page (http://linux.die.net/man/3/libuuid) claims that the library is distributed under the LGPL version 2. However, when I downloaded the source for the library on my machine, the code had the 3-clause BSD license printed in the source. In either case, I believe use of external library is license-compatible with Asterisk.
Regarding specific implementation decisions, I think comments in the code should explain why I chose to do things certain ways. Please let me know if anything should be done differently or if you have ideas for tests beyond what I have already included.
I have no idea what is up with the changes listed in autoconfig.h.in. Those changes showed up when I ran the bootstrap.sh script after changing configure.ac. </pre>
