            Bug ID: 25877
           Summary: Unclear license for example files
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.31
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: AsDaGo at posteo dot net
                CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

The manual/examples/README file appears to say that the examples are available
*only* under the GPL. The license notices for the individual files appear to
only allow distribution under the GPL as well. However, since the manual is
licensed under the GFDL, it seems to me that the example files must allow
distribution under the GFDL as well in order to be included in the manual.

So I think this should be clarified by adding a dual-license notice to both the
README and the individual examples allowing distribution under both the GPL and
GFDL.

P.S. Since there is no "documentation" component available, I chose "libc"
instead.
