libudev is LGPL, so that does not mean that the linking program has to be released under the GPL.

Yes, I see. The Ubuntu package simply stated in debian/copyright that the
whole of udev is licensed under the GPL; so this is a packaging bug. Thanks
for correcting me.

Evidently the Ubuntu version of udev is straight GPL, until they change it.
