It's unfortunate that glibc doesn't mention the license on their web 
site - you'd think that would be the first place to look.  But you're 
right - it's not there, or at least I can't seem to find it either.

I did grab the 20MB tar.gz file from the GNU site, and they do state the 
library is covered under the GNU LGPL.  They also distribute the GNU 
LGPL as COPYING.LIB.
