Hello, Harald,
I am reusing the libosmovty in my program. And hence my program must have the same license (AGPL-3.0), mustn't it?
Also, the question regarding the copyright message in the terminal: Should I leave the "Copyright (C) 201* by Harald Welte..." string or should I add my name and company there alongside yours. Or can I just leave my name there?
With best wishes, Mykola

libosmovty is not AGPL-3.0, but licensed under GNU GPL v2 or later. You can use any compatible license, such as (not exhaustive) GPLv2, GPLv3, AGPLv3, LGPLv2.1, LGPLv3, MIT/X, BSD, MPL 2.0, ... see for example https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses

The copyright message is part of host.app_info->copyright, i.e. provided by the application. libosmovty doesn't print a message itself, so you do not need to attribute me or any other libosmovty authors (mainly Kuninhiro Ishiguro).
Good luck with libosmovty! I don't think we have many users outside of Osmocom so far. May I ask what your program is doing/implementing?
Regards, Harald
