Good idea.

This seems wrong though, the license of the GPL is:
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
I'm not sure how to best describe this. I note that the fdl module
has the same problem:
doc/fdl.texi
...
License:
public domain
How about a new license 'unmodifiable license text', which we fix in
gnulib-tool to be compatible with other licenses?

Btw, below is a LGPL module as well.
