Well BSD says that license should be included with the sources, but
does not force you to sprinkle copy of the license to multiple
places. I _think_ that legaly NAG notices in separate files
could be replaced by a single one, but since NAG wanted per file
licence I keep it that way. Similarly with other licences.
As I wrote you most of old stuff that you bundled never was part of
FriCAS repository. New contributions, are covered by overall
LICENSE.txt. Concerning Arthur Ralfs, I do not know why did you
put separate licence file in Axiom. Artur knew Axiom and FriCAS
licence, clearly wanted his code to be included and I included
what he provided. Did he request you to put this licence file?
