I would also add the COPYING file at the root of the package:

    The commands and utilities under the "test" directory are licensed under the
    GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2, June 1991. The full text of the
    GPL is located at:

    sysfsutils/cmd/GPL

    The sysfs library is licensed under the GNU Lesser Public License (LGPL)
    Version 2.1, February 1999. The full text of the LGPL is located at:

    sysfsutils/lib/LGPL

Yann E. MORIN.

But COPYING is confusing and a half-truth, that's why i avoided it.
If you look at the source under cmd/ that's also just GPL, and it's not
under "test", by the COPYING terms one could consider them LGPL.
