I have tried to export it from gnulib with v2, but it was impossible
by official gnulib tools. Maybe do it manually from some old
tarball. I'll accept a patch for this if you have time do it.
I'll like to release 2.35.1 ASAP (due to bug in sfdisk --move-data),
so we can add this license change too.
