+
+  <p>When you write a new application or library, you will need to chose a
+  license so that others know how they can use or reuse your work.</p>
+
+  <p>Libraries used in GNOME are usually licensed under
+  <link href="https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.html";>LGPL 2.1</link>.</p>
+
+  <p>Most newer GNOME applications are licensed under GPL3+, while some of the
+  older applications are licensed under GPL2+.</p>
+
+  <p>User help which is written by the GNOME documentation team is licensed
+  under CC-by-SA 3.0 Unported.</p>
+
+  <p>Translations have the same license as the parent stings. For example,
+  strings from the applications are usually GPL2+ or GPL3+, while user
+  documentation is usually CC-by-SA 3.0.</p>
