Ah, of course, that was silly of me not to. My apologies for not including the license to begin with. I also did not realize that evolution was not including the right mail headers for replies. You learn something new every day... I did check the "licenses" of the subtrees. With one exception, these were notes on who actually owned the copyright to the works, and not new or different licenses. The exception was for the bzip2 library, which contained the following (again, BSD-like): This program, "bzip2" and associated library "libbzip2", are copyright (C) 1996-2002 Julian R Seward.
