+The project util-linux doesn't use the same license for all of the code.
+There is code under:
+
+ * GPLv3+ (GNU General Public License version 3, or any later version)
+
+ * GPLv2+ (GNU General Public License version 2, or any later version)
+
+ * GPLv2 (GNU General Public License version 2)
+
+ * LGPLv2+ (GNU Lesser General Public License v2 (or 2.1) or any later version)
+
+ * BSD with advertising
+
+ * Public Domain
+
+Please, check the source code for more details. A license is usually at the start
+of each source file.
+
+The /COPYING file (GPLv2+) is the default license for code without an explicitly
+defined license.
