             Bug #: 13792
           Summary: Which license applies to the code examples in the
                    manual?
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: manual
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: d-mob06@gmx.de
                CC: roland@gnu.org
    Classification: Unclassified


What is the license for the code examples listed in the manual?

I want to use the rather simple example of subtracting a struct timeval in my
project. You can find it here:
www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Elapsed-Time.html

What license does apply? The manual itself is under the GNU Free Documentation
License. What's the deal with the code examples? The closest in the GNU FDL is
the following paragraph at the end:

"If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend
releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software
license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free
software."

A clarification would be very much appreciated.
