minor license detail

1999-02-01 Thread Richard E. Hawkins Esq.
I've looked at COPYING in cvs, and there's one minor detail: The GPL license refuses permission to distribute a modified version of the *license*. Currently, it's in copying. I'd suggest a directory called "licenseRefs" or some such, and to put the GPL there, with a pointer in copying. The
