That might be true but although the header in configure doesn't
mention it it is generated based on whats in configure.ac and
therefore it could be considered a derivative work. End result is if
the package is e.g GPLv2 then configure.ac probably is and it then
follows that the generated configure is potentially also GPLv2.
