It seems you are right: config-ml.in: GPL with special exception. config.guess: GPL with special exception. config.sub: GPL with special exception. configure: no limitation depcomp: GPL with special exception. install-sh: X-11 license ltcf-c.sh: GPL with special exception. ltconfig: GPL with special exception. ltmain.sh: GPL with special exception. aclocal.m4: see below Is aclocal.m4 an exception? It has several copyright notices. The first one gives unlimited permissions to copy and/or distribute, but sections after that have no exception clause. I'm unsure what this means.
