+Please note that concerning the contributions of people working at
+Google, I (Dodji Seketeli) was forwarded the following from Matthias
+Maennich:
+
+    That is in response to all contributors from Google from the department
+    that is able to clarify open source licensing issues:
+
+    "Please let the maintainer know that Google LLC formally consents to
+    relicensing Googlers' contributions to libabigail to the LGPLv3 / Apache
+    2 with LLVM Exception license.
+
+    If the maintainer would like to direct one of the relicensing requests
+    to us directly, we'll be happy to respond in the affirmative."
