We would say how *sources* are licensed, but actually most user care about the resulting binaries. So say how the *binaries* are licensed. I used the word "effectively" because the permissive licenses don't set any requirements on the binaries, so the license of sources is a complex mix, but the resulting binaries have a simple effective license. Also, make it clear that the GPLv2 license applies to udev programs, but not the shared library. Based on private correspondence, there's some confusion about this.
