The software in this repository is under a number of licenses:

 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/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.
