   1 '''Gnulib - The GNU Portability Library
   2 GNU software has a well-deserved reputation for running on many different types
   3 of systems. While our primary goal is to write software for the GNU system, many
   4 users and developers have been introduced to us through the systems that they
   5 were already using.
   6 Gnulib is a central location for common GNU code, intended to be shared among
   7 GNU packages. GCC has libiberty, but this is hard to disentangle from the GCC
   8 build tree.
   9 Gnulib takes a different approach. Its components are intended to be shared at
  10 the source level, rather than being a library that gets built, installed, and
  11 linked against. Thus, there is no distribution tarball; the idea is to copy
  12 files from Gnulib into your own source tree.
  13 Gnulib also includes copies of a few files purely for convenience: the GNU
  14 coding standards, the GNU maintainer information, the GPL and other licenses (in
  15 Texinfo), assorted configuration scripts, and more. The goal is to provide all
  16 the common infrastructure needed by GNU packages.'''
