This directory contains some OS-support function copied verbatim from
the GNU C-library glibc. The files in this directory are covered by
the GPL as included in the file COPYING.

As the GPL states, mere aggregation of GPLed software with proprietary
software in a distribution does _not_ mean that the entire aggregate
is covered by the GPL.

So the GPL does apply _only_ to files in this directory while the
remaining part is coverd by the copyright conditions explained in
detail in the top-level distribution directory.
