-The decision to exclude such comments is intentional, as it should be

-Domain as they intentionally contain no content which can be covered
-by copyright. Some source modules may fall in this category as well.

-The following files are trivial, in my opinion not copyrightable in

+The x86_64 port was written by Nicholas J. Kain and is licensed under
+the standard MIT terms.
+
+The mips and microblaze ports were originally written by Richard
+Pennington for use in the ellcc project. The original code was adapted
+by Rich Felker for build system and code conventions during upstream
+integration. It is licensed under the standard MIT terms.
+
+The mips64 port was contributed by Imagination Technologies and is
+licensed under the standard MIT terms.
+
+The powerpc port was also originally written by Richard Pennington,
+and later supplemented and integrated by John Spencer. It is licensed
+under the standard MIT terms.
+
+All other files which have no copyright comments are original works
+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.
