I disagree with this. other is too generic. I don't care if most of the
directories called "gnu" in the current tree contain GPLd code. How
about contrib, which contains GPLd code too, but no gnu dir? It will
be plainly obvious from the copyright I'd put at the beginning of any
files in src/lib/libccompat/gnu that they're not under the GPL. There
is simply no reason to assume that anything under a gnu directory is GPLd,
or that anything GPLd is going to be under a gnu directory (which it's not.)
