+In general, GPLv2+ is used by programs, LGPLv2+ is used for
+libraries.
+
+LGPLv2+ with exceptions is used for things that are linked directly
+into dynamically linked programs and shared libraries (e.g. crt
+files, lib*_nonshared.a). Historically, this exception also applies
+to parts of libio.
+
+GPLv2+ with exceptions is used for parts of the Arm unwinder.
+
+GFDL is used for the documentation.
+
+Some other licenses are used in various places (BSD, Inner-Net,
+ISC, Public Domain).
+
+HSRL and FSFAP are only used in test cases, which currently do not
+ship in binary RPMs, so they are not listed here. MIT is used for
+scripts/install-sh, which does not ship, either.
+
+GPLv3+ is used by manual/texinfo.tex, which we do not use.
+
+LGPLv3+ is used by some Hurd code, which we do not build.
+
+LGPLv2 is used in one place (time/timespec_get.c, by mistake), but
+it is not actually compiled, so it does not matter for libraries.
