+<h3 class="subsection">6.6.1 Licensing of GNU Packages</h3>
+
+<p>Normally, GNU packages should use the latest version of the GNU GPL,
+with the “or any later version” formulation. See <a
href="#License-Notices-for-Code">License Notices for Code</a>, for the exact
wording of the license notice.
+</p>
+<p>Occasionally, a GNU library may provide functionality which is already
+widely available to proprietary programs through alternative
+implementations; for example, the GNU C Library. In such cases, the
+Lesser GPL should be used (again, for the notice wording,
+see <a href="#License-Notices-for-Code">License Notices for Code</a>). If a
GNU library provides unique
+functionality, however, the GNU GPL should be used.
+<a
href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html";>http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html</a>
discusses this
+strategic choice.
+</p>
+<p>Some of these libraries need to work with programs released under
+GPLv2-only; that is, which allow the GNU GPL version 2 but not later
+versions. In this case, the GNU package should be released under a
+dual license: GNU GPL version 2 (or any later version) and the GNU
+Lesser GPL version 3 (or any later version). Here is the notice for
+that case:

+-------------------------------
+
+Normally, GNU packages should use the latest version of the GNU GPL,
+with the "or any later version" formulation. *Note License Notices for
+Code::, for the exact wording of the license notice.
+
+ Occasionally, a GNU library may provide functionality which is
+already widely available to proprietary programs through alternative
+implementations; for example, the GNU C Library. In such cases, the
+Lesser GPL should be used (again, for the notice wording, *note License
+Notices for Code::). If a GNU library provides unique functionality,
+however, the GNU GPL should be used.
+`http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html' discusses this strategic
+choice.
+
+ Some of these libraries need to work with programs released under
+GPLv2-only; that is, which allow the GNU GPL version 2 but not later
+versions. In this case, the GNU package should be released under a dual
+license: GNU GPL version 2 (or any later version) and the GNU Lesser GPL
+version 3 (or any later version). Here is the notice for that case:
+
+ This file is part of GNU PACKAGE.
+
+ GNU PACKAGE is free software: you can redistribute it and/or
+ modify it under the terms of either:
+
+ * the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free
+ Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at your

+
+ or
+
+ * the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
+ Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your
+ option) any later version.

+
+ GNU PACKAGE is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+ but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

+
+ You should have received copies of the GNU General Public License and

+<h3 class="subsection">6.6.1 Licensing of GNU Packages</h3>
+
+<p>Normally, GNU packages should use the latest version of the GNU GPL,
+with the “or any later version” formulation. See <a
href="License-Notices-for-Code.html#License-Notices-for-Code">License Notices
for Code</a>, for the exact wording of the license notice.
+</p>
+<p>Occasionally, a GNU library may provide functionality which is already
+widely available to proprietary programs through alternative
+implementations; for example, the GNU C Library. In such cases, the
+Lesser GPL should be used (again, for the notice wording,
+see <a href="License-Notices-for-Code.html#License-Notices-for-Code">License
Notices for Code</a>). If a GNU library provides unique
+functionality, however, the GNU GPL should be used.
+<a
href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html";>http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html</a>
discusses this
+strategic choice.
+</p>
+<p>Some of these libraries need to work with programs released under
+GPLv2-only; that is, which allow the GNU GPL version 2 but not later
+versions. In this case, the GNU package should be released under a
+dual license: GNU GPL version 2 (or any later version) and the GNU
+Lesser GPL version 3 (or any later version). Here is the notice for
+that case:
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">This file is part of GNU <var>package</var>.
+
+GNU <var>package</var> is free software: you can redistribute it and/or

+
+or
+
+ * the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
+ Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your
+ option) any later version.
+
+or both in parallel, as here.

+
+<p>For small packages, you can use “This program” instead of
“GNU
