That needs to be a lot stronger, as:

<p>Do not use GCC extensions, as the code should compile with any sane
C99 compiler (specifically to include clang).   Do not use
glibc-specific features, as gpsd is portable to multiple operating
systems that do not use glibc, including BSD's libc and uClibc.
Instead, rely on what POSIX guarantees.</p>

but otherwise looks ok (although I really dislike // comments,
personally, as I find the flexibility of choosing the style leads to
mess).
