All other files which have no copyright comments are original works
-Copyright © 2005-2013 Rich Felker, the main author of this library.
-The decision to exclude such comments is intentional, as it should be
-possible to carry around the complete source code on tiny storage
-media. All public header files (include/* and arch/*/bits/*) should be
-treated as Public Domain as they intentionally contain no content
-which can be covered by copyright. Some source modules may fall in
-this category as well. If you believe that a file is so trivial that
-it should be in the Public Domain, please contact me and, if I agree,
-I will explicitly release it from copyright.
-
-The following files are trivial, in my opinion not copyrightable in
-the first place, and hereby explicitly released to the Public Domain:
-
-All public headers: include/*, arch/*/bits/*
-Startup files: crt/*
+produced specifically for use as part of this library, written either
+by Rich Felker, the main author of the library, or by one or more
+contibutors listed above. Details on authorship of individual files
+can be found in the git version control history of the project. The
+omission of copyright and license comments in each file is in the
+interest of source tree size.
+
+In addition, permission is hereby granted for all public header files
+(include/* and arch/*/bits/*) and crt files intended to be linked into
+applications (crt/*, ldso/dlstart.c, and arch/*/crt_arch.h) to omit
+the copyright notice and permission notice otherwise required by the
+license, and to use these files without any requirement of
+attribution. These files include substantial contributions from:
+
+Bobby Bingham
+John Spencer
+Nicholas J. Kain
+Rich Felker
+Richard Pennington
+Stefan Kristiansson
+Szabolcs Nagy
+
+all of whom have explicitly granted such permission.
+
+This file previously contained text expressing a belief that most of
+the files covered by the above exception were sufficiently trivial not
+to be subject to copyright, resulting in confusion over whether it
+negated the permissions granted in the license. In the spirit of
+permissive licensing, and of not having licensing issues being an
+obstacle to adoption, that text has been removed.
