I followed what I thought was the current binutils practice for header
files.  E.g., include/elf/common.h is GPLv2.  My general understanding
is that we're waiting for the FSF to sign off on an appropriate
runtime exception for the GPLv3.

Thanks, I'll fix that.  Actually the README obviously needs a lot of
work.
