Yeah, I know, all I'm saying is that if they compiled and installed the sources themselves in 99.9% of the cases they wouldn't have the Copyright left online so why whould we worry about installing it when the authors of the original code didn't think it was necessary. If the original sources, *DO* install the copyright then whoever creates the port and package should do the same but I don't think we should worry ourselves over installing Copyrights when the original code didn't do so in the first place. -- Paul Richards, Bluebird Computer Systems.
