That would work from my point of view.

While we're discussing non-free files, I've found the following
problematic source files so far. Is there anything to indicate that they
can be distributed at all, let alone under the HPND or some other free
license? They're all benchmarks, so they could probably be dropped
without too much impact...

* benchmark/tests/md5.sml:
  Copyright (C) 2001 Daniel Wang. All rights reserved.

  The "All rights reserved" bit and the lack of any licensing
  information makes me skeptical that the file can be distributed at
  all. It could be replaced by Tom7's implementation if you want a
  crypto benchmark:
  https://github.com/LenaWil/tom7/tree/master/sml-lib/crypt/MD5

* benchmark/tests/DATA/chess.gml:
  Copyright Leif Kornstaedt, 2000

  This looks like it was taken from an ICFP programming content
  submission, with no clear licensing information:
  https://www.ps.uni-saarland.de/helikopter/2000/

* benchmark/tests/zern.sml
  COPYRIGHT (c) 1998 D.McClain/MCFA

  This looks like it was taken from
  
https://web.archive.org/web/20010215003107/http://www.azstarnet.com/~dmcclain/LanguageStudy.html
  with no clear licensing information.

I'll update this bug report with any other files I find.

Best,
Ryan
