When running `licensecheck -r .` on the glibc source-tree, there are
many files being licensed MIT/X11 and/or BSD 3-clause. I don't see any
reason Public Domain isn't suitable then.
Anyways, since Public Domain doesn't restrict relicensing, I can add a
`LGPL v2.1 or later` license to the files in question.
