here with bzip2, I get 51,200 bytes for BSD, GPL, and LGPL, tarred.
That should be acceptable for a TRB distribution archive, no?
It breaks one of the primary design goals, which is that the tarball can
be created from the floppy and vice versa in a completely symetrical way,

Now, again, as I read it, if I provide an http or ftp directory, which
contains 10 files, and one of those has all the licenses, and one is the

difficult to accidentally avoid at this point, and which will be on
all the mirrors tomorrow. I added a key of what license goes with

Did you add your own copyright notice to these programs? I'm digging
