All are related = projects but not sure if they are considered under the same umbrella. Files include compile, config.guess, config.sub, depcomp, install-sh, = libel.m4, ltmail.sh, ltoptions.m4, ltsugar.m4, ltveriosn.m4, = lt-obsolete.m4, missing if that helps. Most a GPL with the exception of = install-sh which is MIT and the .m4 files which have: # This file is free software; the Free Software Foundation gives=20 # unlimited permission to copy and/or distribute it, with or without=20 # modifications, as long as this notice is preserved. > Could add a note to point out the Autoconf tooling is on the list = because of the aforementioned 'FSF autoconf license' in Category A. So a nice to have but not required. > Would also be good to get a href of some kind for the autoconf = license. Here=E2=80=99s the latest to the autoconf exception license: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/autoconf-exception.html Is section 2 in that license a concern?
