Hmm, Pixie is released under the license terms that Perl itself is released=20= under, and thats not going to change. As for placing a copy of the=20 license in every file, well, TBH I'm not sure that having as copy of=20 both the GPL and Artistic licenses in _every_ file is in any way=20 practical or needed. We are in the process of moving our outside CVS server, and this sort=20 of thing will be much easier soon, but at the moment we are stuck using=20= she-ra for external projects, and this is likely to remain the case for=20= the next little while. Sourceforge's CVS is painfully hosed but TBH,=20 license discussions are rather dull and boring, and until we can bring=20= it back under the Fotango umbrella I'd rather just import it into=20 sourceforge, and then bring it back later once it is more practical. Regards, James.
