Hi,
The copy of gnulib.mk in Emacs says:
# This file is free software, distributed under the terms of the GNU
# General Public License. As a special exception to the GNU General

There's no information about which version of the GPL.
m4/gl-comp.m4 seems to have the same issue.
Also, the licence for the generated lib/Makefile.in and lib/Makefile
in Emacs seem confusing/contradictory, perhaps it is related?
Makefile.in starts:
# Makefile.in generated by automake 1.11.1 from Makefile.am.
