How about adding a --gpl parameter to gnulib-tool? It could replace the LGPL license headers found in source codes of the LGPL modules used with the GPL license headers. That is permitted by the LGPL. Then all files could exhibit the license they are actually licensed under. Coreutils and other GPL-only projects could then use --gpl to make sure they don't have to discuss the LGPL in their README's etc. Of course, all our LGPL'ed files will have to have their license headers changed to actually say LGPL, but I think that is a good thing. /Simon
