The Copyright on this code is unclear.  For example, in
single/e_rem_pio2.c  lines 1-6:

/*
 * e_rem_pio2.c
 *
 * Copyright (c) 1999-2018, Arm Limited.
 * SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
 */

Then lines 16-18:

    /*
     * Simple cases: all nicked from the fdlibm version for speed.
     */

The original fdlibm licenses applies ot the nicked lines.
