:)Thanks for clarifying.

Is there an implication that we tell people to go look at it? I'm not sure
whether anyone looks at the READMEs, but the man page additions were pretty
"in-your-face" compared to having a directory full of license info that no
one really looks at?
I'm not saying it's a bad idea (actually, I like it) but do we need to tell
people about it? E.g., perhaps use that cookie program the f_ls use to tell
users once a year that the license info is in blahblahblah?
Mostly, I just wonder if such a repository of information is sufficient.
