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. + 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. |
