Licence for gnulib.mk slightly vague

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
    # Public License, this file may be distributed as part of a program
    # that contains a configuration script generated by Autoconf, under
    # the same distribution terms as the rest of that program.

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.
    # @configure_input@
