Which?  The contents, or the license?  No one, other than you, expressed 
concern over the contents of the file.  Doug even posted a diff.

So you think I would engage in unhanded activity such as silently and 
intentionally modifying a file so that the FSF couldn't rebuild it's 
sources?  Bizare.

I posted that bit of trivia (only moments ago) because it highlights the 
sillyness of this entire part of the thread.  Should I also mention 
which internal repository I got the file from (never know, there might 
be more than one ... :-)?  If you were really so worried about me doing 
something underhanded, why didn't you yourself take the 30 seconds 
needed to do a diff (might want to do that anyway, never know .... ;-)?

The only important thing here is that this file is [finally] being 
contributed to the FSF, and that one tiny bit of the mess that Jim 
Wilson refered to is been resolved.  Beer!!
