The net world has missed the point of my followup on the egrep posting
which started (or re-started) this discussion. 

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER THE SOFTWARE IS FREE, REQUIRES PAYMENT
(OR REQUIRES YOU TO WANT B. T. REMOVED AS MODERATOR FOR R.H.F. :-)

The issue is interpretation of distribution requirments.

The moderator should simply make SURE that distribution requirements
are met.  If a file is not present SPELLING out those requirements
then DON'T post it.  It should be the AUTHOR's job to make those
requirements as clear as possible to make interpretation as easy as
possible.

FINAL NOTE: the egrep .arc file did not include the verbatim copy of
the GNU general public license. EGREP ISSUE CLOSED.
