 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.
