I have often thought it would be very very nice if the source files could reference the license, and tell you where to get it, rather than including the full text. This hugely increases the size of everything, and provides no real benefit. If each file could reference a file (included in the distribution) and a URL, surely that would be sufficient? What is the rationale for the full text in each and every file? -- Rich Bowen - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Author - Apache Administrator's Guide http://www.ApacheAdmin.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
