The copies of aclocal.m4 and config-ml.in both disagree with you. aclocal seems to have a completely liberal license, and config-ml has a "whatever the license of the program it's building" license.
It seems you are right:
config-ml.in: GPL with special exception. config.guess: GPL with special exception. config.sub: GPL with special exception. configure: no limitation depcomp: GPL with special exception. install-sh: X-11 license ltcf-c.sh: GPL with special exception. ltconfig: GPL with special exception. ltmain.sh: GPL with special exception.
aclocal.m4: see below
Is aclocal.m4 an exception? It has several copyright notices. The first one gives unlimited permissions to copy and/or distribute, but sections after that have no exception clause. I'm unsure what this means.
The files that ctypes uses are in CVS here:
