 Hi,

 sorry for being license fascist :), but there is lot unclear in m4/
 directories.

 This applies to all components carrying those m4 files (including
 softhsm):

 acx_*.m4 - missing license header, license unclear

 acx_ruby_library.m4 - +header says acx_sqlite3.m4 (cut&paste)

 am_path_ruby.m4 - missing license header, illegal to distribute, since
 it's clearly modified python.m4 from GNU automake, which is licensed
 under:

 {{{

 -*-

 }}}

 All other m4 files will be fine when license boilerplate will be added.
 am_ruby_path.m4 license will have to be fixed before it goes to Debian.
