  Most modules are under the GPL.  Some, mostly modules which can
  reasonably be used in libraries, are under LGPL.  The source files
  always say "GPL", but the real license specification is in the module
! description file.  If the module description file says "GPL", it currently
! means "GPLv2+" (GPLv2 or newer, at the licensee's choice); if it says "LGPL",
! it currently means "LGPLv2+" (LGPLv2 or newer, at the licensee's choice).
  
  More precisely, the license specification in the module description
  file applies to the files in @file{lib/} and @file{build-aux/}.  Different
