That latter question being resolved now, I committed the license changes
that you suggested:


2008-09-06  Bruno Haible  <address@hidden>

        * modules/freadptr (License): Change to LGPLv2+.
        * modules/freadseek (License): Likewise.
        Suggested by Eric Blake.

        * modules/memchr2 (License): Change to LGPLv2+.
        Approved by Eric Blake.
