+Our intent is to make it easy to use libatomic_ops, in
+both free and proprietary software.  Hence most code that we expect to be
+linked into a client application is covered by an MIT-style license.
+
+A few library routines are covered by the GNU General Public License.
+These are put into a separate library, libatomic_ops_gpl.a .
+
+The low-level part of the library is mostly covered by the following
+license:

+A few files in the sysdeps directory were inherited in part from the
+Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector, and are covered by
+its license, which is similar in spirit:

+
+----------------------------------
+
+A few files are covered by the GNU General Public License.  (See file
+"COPYING".) This applies only to test code, sample applications,
+and the libatomic_ops_gpl portion of the library.
+Thus libatomic_ops_gpl should generally not be linked into proprietary code.
+(This distinction was motivated by patent considerations.)
+
+It is possible that the license of the GPL pieces may be changed for
+future versions to make them more consistent with the rest of the package.
+If you submit patches, and have strong preferences about licensing, please
+express them.
