Hi Ævar,

verify.h is under LGPLv2+. As described in
<https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Copyright.html>
the license for gnulib modules is written in the module description file,
'modules/verify' in this case.
When you use the --lgpl option to gnulib-tool, it should replace the
copyright headers of the files accordingly. If not, that's a bug in gnulib-tool.
