Interesting. It starts with:
While most of this project is under the GPL (see COPYING), the xdiff/
library and some libc code from compat/ are licensed under the GNU
LGPL, version 2.1 or (at your option) any later version and some other
files are under other licenses. Check the individual files to be
sure.
which makes sense.
