    \textit{A. Wehrl} [ibid. 16, 353-358 (1979; Zbl 0444.60100)] has defined a new classical entropy by means of coherent states and conjectured that this entropy is greater than one. \textit{E. H. Lieb} [Commun. Math. Phys. 62, 35-41 (1978; Zbl 0385.60089)] proved Wehrl's conjecture. In our note we discuss a certain reformulation of the classical entropy. We show that Wehrl's inequality for reformulated entropy implies the usual version of the Heisenberg uncertainty relation.
