+The software in this repository is under a number of licenses:
+
+ scripts/ GPL v2+
+ src/nshd/ GPL v2+
+ test/ LGPL v2.1+
+
+ go/gopkg.in/yaml.v2 LGPL v3, with linking exception
+ go/golang.org/x/sys/unix 3-clause BSD license
+
+ go/git.lukeshu.com/go/libgnulinux/dl GPL v2+, with documentation output clarification

+ go/git.lukeshu.com/go/libnslcd/ LGPL v2.1+
+ go/git.lukeshu.com/go/libsystemd/ Apache v2.0
+
+ build-aux/ AGPL v3+
+
+The general notion is that the build system is AGPL (v3+), 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 and sys/unix libraries use other licenses because they are
+ 3rd-party libraries, and that's how the authors licensed them.
