OK, so it was a mistake to add code to encumbered files. No argument from anybody on that point, I'm pretty sure. However, do we just throw up our hands in defeat? I surely hope not! Your analysis below would certainly suggest to me that removing the USL copyright is now an option we can realistically entertain. It's not even remotely "derived" from now. In our CVS tree, we're no worse off than before. In our exported tree, it's one less encumbered file, right?
