Hi,

a new version of libevent bundles a file ax_prog_doxygen.m4 [1]. The
license text says the following:

#   Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, are
#   permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright notice
#   and this notice are preserved.

Not being a native speaker, I'm not sure how exactly to interpret that
sentence, but it sounds to me like there could be a restriction on
commercial use.

(What got me additionally confused is that the file is hosted on gnu.org.)

Is this a Free software license or not?

Thank you very much.

Best regards
