autotools-dev (20130515.1) unstable; urgency=low
GNU Config (config.sub and config.guess) has changed its license
upstream to the GPLv3, with an added exception clause that allows
the config.sub and config.guess files to be distributed under a
different license in a specific condition: config.sub and
config.guess can be included in programs that contain a
configuration script generated by GNU autoconf under the license of
the program itself.
Please refer to the complete license which is included inside the
config.sub and config.guess files themselves for details.
This is not going to be a problem at all for any packages that use
GNU autoconf/automake, nor it will be a problem for packages
distributed under the GPLv3. However, it may become a problem for
the rare packages which do not use GNU autoconf, are distributed
with licenses other than the GPLv3, and need config.sub or
config.guess.
