When I run

$ ./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --with-tests --dir=/tmp/testdir1

I get these warnings, among others:

gnulib-tool: warning: module futimens depends on a module with an incompatible 
license: gettime
gnulib-tool: warning: module futimens depends on a module with an incompatible 
license: timespec
gnulib-tool: warning: module futimens depends on a module with an incompatible 
license: utimens

It is a consequence of a license change on 2011-05-05
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-05/msg00183.html

Can we change the license of the modules 'gettime', 'timespec', 'utimens'
to 'LGPL'?

Agreements are needed:
  - For gettime: from Paul, Jim.
  - For timespec: from Jim, Paul, Pádraig.
  - For utimens: from Paul, Eric, Jim, Bruno, Aurelien Jarno.

You hereby have my agreement (since all these modules are suitable for use
in libraries).

Paul, Jim, Eric, Pádraig, Aurelien, can we have yours?
