<<Sorry, I now see where the confusion is coming from.  The individual
source files do include the exception to the modified GPL, which is
something I hadn't checked.  I was stopped short by the top-level README
and COPYING files, which are plain GPL v2, and the lack of any other
COPYING file in the Garlic subdirectory.  The top-level README should
mention the different terms for what is in Garlic, since they currently
contradict each other (which is bad from any perspective).

We certainly have to distribute COPYING as is, that is clear.
We can certainly clarify the readme file.

So far, everyone interested in reusing the sources for particular units
has at least looked at the sources for these units, and seen the
associated copyright (in general, you expect the copyright notice
to be part of the particular deocument, as is the case here), so no one
else has ever run into this confusion before.
