license ambiguity in guile exception to the gpl

Is *all* the text in `guile-core' covered by the Guile GPL exception?

    The Guile License 
    The license of Guile consists of the GNU GPL plus a special statement
    giving blanket permission to link with non-free software.  This is the
    license statement as found in any individual file that it applies to:
    [...]
         As a special exception, the Free Software Foundation gives
         permission for additional uses of the text contained in its
         release of GUILE.
    [...]

`boot-9.scm', for example, contains the usual GPL comments without
mention of the Guile GPL exception.

(One of the reasons I ask is that I'm trying to decide how to license
some Guile modules I'm writing.)
