I see there only 3 clauses, here's a listing of the LICENSE file: I was looking at nvi-1.79/LICENSE and nvi-1.79/regex/COPYRIGHT, which both contain the 4-clause text. It’s surprising that the newer version no longer has the fourth clause. Which version do Trisquel or Debian ship?

In both cases, “New file.” is enough (try ‘git log’ to see examples.) The files also need to be added to gnu-system.am. Could you send the patch (with the added comments) as an attachment, because the mail client apparently mangled it? Thanks, Ludo’.
