Message-ID: <15122@s.ms.uky.edu> Date: 1 May 90 00:53:03 GMT References: <2467@litchi.bbn.com> Organization: The Leaning Tower of Patterson Office @ The Univ. of KY Lines: 14 Geez is it necessary to have a compiled in 2K static table in every C file describing the terms of distribution???? First we get the GNU people tacking a 3K copyright notice on a 400 byte program, and now we not only get the same thing on each C file, but it takes up memory/swap-space to boot! How about a notice in each file saying "For conditions of redistribution, see the COPYING file." This is getting ridiculous. -- *** Sean Casey sean@ms.uky.edu, sean@ukma.bitnet, ukma!sean
