As long as libmpathpersist links to libmultipath, that wouldn't change
a thing for external users. If the intention is to make libmpathpersist
usable by proprietary code, you'd need to decouple it from libmultipath
by using cli commands. If there's no such intention, all we need to do
is clarify the license situation.
