Drepper is no longer around. Upstream glibc is really friendly now, |
| 21 |
probably in an attempt to throw off the image you rightly had. |

Indeed, but not because of Drepper, but rather because GNU projects |
| 26 |
require copyright assignment for non-trivial contributions and I |
| 27 |
highly doubt that the jemalloc developers who put it under the BSD |
| 28 |
license are going to be okay with relicensing to LGPLv3+ and assigning |
| 29 |
copyright on their work to the FSF. |
