-Copyright © 2005-2012 Rich Felker, the main author of this library.
-The decision to exclude such comments is intentional, as it should be
-possible to carry around the complete source code on tiny storage
-media. All public header files (include/*) should be treated as Public
-Domain as they intentionally contain no content which can be covered
-by copyright. Some source modules may fall in this category as well.
-If you believe that a file is so trivial that it should be in the
-Public Domain, please contact me and, if I agree, I will explicitly
-release it from copyright.
-
-The following files are trivial, in my opinion not copyrightable in
-the first place, and hereby explicitly released to the Public Domain:
-
-All public headers: include/*
-Startup files: crt/*
+produced specifically for use as part of this library, written either
+by Rich Felker, the main author of the library, or by one or more
+contibutors listed above. Details on authorship of individual files
+can be found in the git version control history of the project. The
+omission of copyright and license comments in each file is in the
+interest of source tree size.
+
+In addition, permission is hereby granted for all public header files
+(include/* and arch/*/bits/*) and crt files intended to be linked into
+applications (crt/*, ldso/dlstart.c, and arch/*/crt_arch.h) to omit
+the copyright notice and permission notice otherwise required by the
+license, and to use these files without any requirement of
+attribution. These files include substantial contributions from:
+
+Bobby Bingham
+John Spencer
+Nicholas J. Kain
+Rich Felker
+Richard Pennington
+Stefan Kristiansson
+Szabolcs Nagy
+
+all of whom have explicitly granted such permission.
+
+This file previously contained text expressing a belief that most of
+the files covered by the above exception were sufficiently trivial not
+to be subject to copyright, resulting in confusion over whether it
+negated the permissions granted in the license. In the spirit of
+permissive licensing, and of not having licensing issues being an
+obstacle to adoption, that text has been removed.
