The files in here are mostly copyright (C) Free Software Foundation, and
|
||||
are under assorted licenses. Mostly, but not entirely, GPL.
|
||||
|
||||
Many modules are provided dual-license, either GPL or LGPL at your
|
||||
option. The headers of files in the lib directory (e.g., lib/error.c)
|
||||
state GPL for convenience, since the bulk of current gnulib users are
|
||||
GPL'd programs. But the files in the modules directory (e.g.,
|
||||
modules/error) state the true license of each file, and when you use
|
||||
'gnulib-tool --lgpl --import <modules>', gnulib-tool either rewrites
|
||||
the files to have an LGPL header as part of copying them from gnulib
|
||||
to your project directory, or fails because the modules you requested
|
||||
were not licensed under LGPL.
|
||||
The license of each file is stated in that file.
|
||||
Additionally, the files in the modules directory state the license of
|
||||
the code part (in lib/) of the respective module.
|
||||
|
||||
Some of the source files in lib/ have different licenses. Also, the
|
||||
copy of maintain.texi in doc/ has a verbatim-copying license, and
|
||||
doc/standards.texi and make-stds.texi are GFDL. Most (but not all)
|
||||
Some of the source files in lib/ have different licenses than GPL or LGPL.
|

Also, the copy of maintain.texi in doc/ has a verbatim-copying license,

and doc/standards.texi and make-stds.texi are GFDL. Most (but not all)
|

m4/*.m4 files have nearly unlimited licenses.
