Going through the list provided by Bruno:

> Among the modules that will be part of libposix, i.e. that are listed as
> gnulib modules for some POSIX functions or headers, the following are
> currently under GPL license:

> <math.h> functions:

>  acosl, asinl, atanl, cosl, expl, logl, sinl, sqrtl, tanl

These modules all seem to come from Bruno, and the C for these appear
to be under a license from Sun that says "do whatever you like, just
reproduce this copyright notice", so Bruno could relicense them LGPL.

are from Ben Pfaff, who gave his permission for relicensing in

> File system related functions, around openat() - discussed in another thread -

I left this aside for now.

>  fflush, futimens

These are Eric's. Eric?

> Obsolete modules (could be omitted from libposix): free, memcpy

So let's omit them.
