I did a "grep GPL" on the sources but couldn't come across any.

Can I leave it open till the legal review is through and what is
acceptable text is decided. Also it would be preferable to have a
neutral text like "This is available under XYZ...." instead of "Sun
elects to use only the...".
I interpret the latter as SFW is meant for SX only while it
need/should not be the case.

Notification is all that might be required due to the name of the scripts.
How about installing all these examples under something like
/usr/demo/expect instead of cluttering the /usr/bin. These are
examples/demo files anyway.

If we choose /usr/demo/expect for the example scripts, we can leave it
out of the ARC list I suppose. (Provide listing of only /usr/bin,
/usr/lib, /usr/share/man ?)

After a false start with hackish solution, was able to do it using
expect's configure script without any other changes.

Once you let me know about the /usr/demo related query, I will make
the necessary modifications and post the patches.
