+License
+-------
+Gnulib contains code both under GPL and LGPL. Because several packages
+that use Gnulib are GPL, the files state they are licensed under GPL.
+However, to support LGPL projects as well, you may use some of the
+files under LGPL. The "License:" information in the files under
+modules/ clarifies the real license that applies to the module source.
+
+Keep in mind that if you submit patches to files in Gnulib, you should
+license them under a compatible license, which means that sometimes
+the contribution will have to be LGPL, if the original file is
+available under LGPL via a "License: LGPL" information in the
+projects' modules/ file.
