You don't need my agreement, because
  - The license change affects only the file lib/isinf.c
    (see <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Copyright.html>),
  - You are the only committer of this file
    (see 
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=history;f=lib/isinf.c>),
  - You did this file entirely on your own
    (see <http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/cutoff=14070>).

But I certainly agree as well, because isnan and isinf are POSIX / libc
functions.

I push the change:


2010-09-05  Bruno Haible  <address@hidden>

        isinf, isnan: Relax license.
        * modules/isinf (License): Change from GPL to LGPL, with consent from
        Ben Pfaff.
        * modules/isnan (License): Likewise.
        Requested by Ludovic Courtès.
