Copyright is held by the FSF and libc6.info is under the FDL, as far as
I can see from /usr/share/doc/libc6-dev/copyright here. FSF's own advice
in the FDL Addendum is
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice
of free software license, such as the GNU General Public License,
to permit their use in free software.
If they have not done so clearly, ask [EMAIL PROTECTED] to check, and
correct if necessary. It doesn't look like there'll be a problem.
Hope that helps,
