+The software in this repository is under a number of licenses:
+
+ scripts/ GPL v2+
+ src/nshd/ GPL v2+
+ test/ LGPL v2.1+
+
+ src/gopkg.in/yaml.v2 LGPL v3, with linking exception
+ src/lukeshu.com/git/go/libgnulinux.git/dl GPL v2+, with documentation output clarification
+ src/lukeshu.com/git/go/libgnulinux.git/inotify LGPL v2.1+
+ src/lukeshu.com/git/go/libgnulinux.git/getgr LGPL v2.1+
+ src/lukeshu.com/git/go/libnslcd.git/ LGPL v2.1+
+ src/lukeshu.com/git/go/libsystemd.git/ Apache v2.0
+
+The general notion is that the core application is GPL (v2+), while
+supporting libraries that might be useful outside of this specific
+application are LGPL (v2.1+), with the exceptions:
+ - The systemd package is Apache licensed because of code taken from
+ CoreOS and Docker.
+ - The dl package is GPL v2+ licensed because of wording in comments
+ taken from the Linux Programmer's Manual.
+ - The YAML library uses v3 of the LGPL because it's a 3rd-party
+ library, and that's how the authors licensed it.
+
