Thanks, Steve. The tool misses a number of exceptions in libopts and
Bison output (implying they're GPL-only), but it also found libopts
files licensed under GPL with no obvious exception, though I hope they
are oversights that can be corrected easily.
Thanks for filing the bug report. More details for those interested in:
