 The files in here are mostly copyright (C) Free Software Foundation, and
 are under assorted licenses.  Mostly, but not entirely, GPL.
 
-Many modules are provided dual-license, either GPL or LGPL at your
-option.  The headers of files in the lib directory (e.g., lib/error.c)
-state GPL for convenience, since the bulk of current gnulib users are
-GPL'd programs.  But the files in the modules directory (e.g.,
-modules/error) state the true license of each file, and when you use
-'gnulib-tool --lgpl --import <modules>', gnulib-tool either rewrites
-the files to have an LGPL header as part of copying them from gnulib
-to your project directory, or fails because the modules you requested
-were not licensed under LGPL.
+The license of each file is stated in that file.
+Additionally, the files in the modules directory state the license of
+the code part (in lib/) of the respective module.
 
-Some of the source files in lib/ have different licenses.  Also, the
-copy of maintain.texi in doc/ has a verbatim-copying license, and
-doc/standards.texi and make-stds.texi are GFDL.  Most (but not all)
