After noticing that the gendocs_template for GNU Tar is licensed under
the GNU All-Permissive license, I figured that perhaps gendocs_template
in Gnulib wasn't always licensed under the CC By-ND. So, using 'git
blame', I discovered commit 9cda876 from 2014. In that commit, the GNU
All-Permissive license text was replaced with a CC By-ND notice (along
with some other changes). Unfortunately, the commit message,
"autoupdate", is rather unhelpful.

Is it possible that licensing gendocs_template{,_min} under the CC By-ND
was a mistake? If so, would it be possible to change it back to the GNU
All-Permissive?

Thanks,
Asher
