+=head2 Can I use libguestfs in my proprietary / closed source / commercial program?
+
+In general, yes. However this is not legal advice. You should read
+the license that comes with libguestfs, and if you have specific
+questions about your obligations when distributing libguestfs, contact
+a lawyer. In the source tree the license is in the file
+C<COPYING.LIB> (LGPLv2+ for the library and bindings) and C<COPYING>
+(GPLv2+ for the standalone programs).
