19    As a special exception, if you link this library with files
20    compiled with a GNU compiler to produce an executable, this does not cause
21    the resulting executable to be covered by the GNU General Public License.
22    This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why
23    the executable file might be covered by the GNU General Public License.

25A few source files and subroutines are covered by other (but
26less restrictive) copyright conditions.  E.g. some code (such
27as iovfprintf.c) is based on software that was developed by the
28University of California, Berkeley, for the Berkeley Software
29Distribution (BSD-4.4), and bears their copyright;  and one
30file (floatconv.c) is derived from ("free") code copyrighted AT&T.
