I specifically asked the lawyer about this yesterday, and since we
distribute the source too (and I don't think we should avoid that)
he said we do need to add the snippet even though the SUNWexpect
package won't contain the test script.
Note it doesn't say anything about changing the license - it just says
"if it's gpl2 or later, we choose gpl2'.
Also note I am not the one to argue with about this :) I can only tell
you that they want you to add the snippet - if you disagree,
you can, but you may delay your integration as we try to get
the lawyers more involved (as I am an engineer not a lawyer,
or a go-between, or anything more that McCoy might say in Star Trek :)
