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