OK, I installed the following change.

I noticed that some modules are actually public domain, so I put that
info into each module file.  This patch also adds (untested) support
for a new license 'public domain' to gnulib-tool's --lgpl option.

I don't have the time right now to split the getcwd.c source into
GPLed and LGPLed bits, but perhaps someone who needs an LGPLed getcwd
can do that for us.  (If you're not sure whether you need getcwd, you
probably don't.  :-)

        * gnulib-tool (func_import): Add support for 'public domain' license.
        * modules/alloca, modules/atexit, modules/memmove:
        Now public domain, not GPL.
        * modules/dup2, modules/getpagesize, modules/malloc, modules/memset:
        * modules/realloc, modules/strerror, modules/strtod:
        Now LGPL, not GPL.
