commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=782cfe46970f6cf511a22bfd19ddd02a06cabf25
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2019.08.x
The GPL only applies to the C++ bindings and eeprom utility, which are
conditionally enabled with BR2_PACKAGE_LIBFTDI1_LIBFTDIPP1 and
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBFTDI1_FDTI_EEPROM, respectively.
The COPYING.LIB is indeed the LGPL-2.0, but the source file for
libftdi1 states LGPL-2.1-only, see src/ftdi.c
The src/ftdi_stream.c also bears a notice of the MIT license, so the
library itself is under both LGPL-2.1-only and MIT.
Note: the COPYING.GPL license file may get added twice to the list, but
that is not a problem in practice: it is just copied twice.
