Review these languages and decide whether to update the license or move them to the google-code repository for Parrot languages:

What is the legal situation for Parrot m4?

Personally I would like to put 'languages/m4' under Artistic 2.0.
But I'm not sure whether this isn't a derived work. I implemented Parrot m4 by:
i. Looking at the GNU m4 source code
ii. Implemented in PIR, based on the C source code, taking source organization from GNU m4
iii. In the case of eval.c, taking only slightly modified GPLed source code

I'm sure the eval.c has to stay GPL licensed or be removed.
I'm not sure about the PIR code.
