     1.4 +The GNU Autoconf Archive is a collection of more than 500 macros for GNU Autoconf
     1.5 +that have been contributed as free software by friendly supporters of the cause
     1.6 +from all over the Internet.
     1.7 +Every single one of those macros can be re-used without imposing any restrictions
     1.8 +whatsoever on the licensing of the generated configure script.
     1.9 +In particular, it is possible to use all those macros in configure scripts
    1.10 +that are meant for non-free software.
    1.11 +This policy is unusual for a Free Software Foundation project.
    1.12 +The FSF firmly believes that software ought to be free, and software licenses like
    1.13 +the GPL are specifically designed to ensure that derivative work based on free
    1.14 +software must be free as well. In case of Autoconf, however, an exception has been made,
    1.15 +because Autoconf is at such a pivotal position in the software development tool chain
    1.16 +that the benefits from having this tool available as widely as possible outweigh the
    1.17 +disadvantage that some authors may choose to use it, too, for proprietary software.
