Re: more licensing issues :(
I'm hoping it is too. I'm removing the GNUstep_Images_Copyright file and mentioning his email in the comment.

Re: more licensing issues :(
I think this is a good idea. Let me see what the response from Andrew is first.

Thanks Hubert P.S. The link listed in the license: http://www.gnustep.org/UserSuite/UserSuite.html doesn't work. P.P.S. There are additional reasons that I believe that the current license is unreasonable.
