I agree with your comment about it needing a date and version info.

Also, it'd be nice for it to have a "References" or "See also"
section at the bottom, that points to the gnulib manual,
the gnulib mailing list archive, and download instructions.

I just took a census and found the following license count
for gnulib modules:

    775 LGPL
    398 LGPLv2+
    234 GPL
     25 GPLed build tool
     17 unlimited
      4 public domain

so, although the comment about most being *GPL3 is correct,
there's still a lot of LGPLv2+ code in there and some
gnulib-using projects are LGPLv2 so I would reword the
licensing section a bit to make it a bit less discouraging.

I looked for other similar pages, that the gnulib documentation
could point to.  The OpenCSW page seemed by far the best.
