--- Comment #9 from Kaleb KEITHLEY <kkeithle at redhat.com> ---
Things that github shows, in this case the first line of the last applicable
git commit message, are hardly "Documentation" or "The Documentation."

(FYI, the official documentation can be found at
http://gluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

Git doesn't have an easy way of revising old commit messages. (Or does it? Can
I check out by commit-id, amend, and push? Seems to be of dubious value in any
event.) I can't remember anyone else in 4+ years being confused about the
license because of a summary shown in a github web page. The actual license is,
as indicated above, in each and every source file (where it says ...GPLV2 _OR_
LGPLV3+...), and the files COPYING-GPLV2 and COPYING-LGPLV3 in the source have
the terms of those licenses.

Closing. This is not a bug.
