The correct way of doing things is to follow existing practice, even if it hasn't been formally documented.

No, it's a "what have we been doing previously?" issue. Getting licences right is one of those common knowledge things that you're expected to know, documented or not. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (King of all Londinium) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
