Differences in the license files

There is still a small differences between

   sourceLicense.html
   documentation/sourceLicense.html
   vm-license.txt
   vm/vm-license.txt

Observations:

The first one I consider to be the correct, as it better conforms the BSD license); it also states that the copy right is being held since 1994 all the way through 2006.

doc/sourceLicense.html is the previous version; it should be replaced with the content of the one in the root directory.

the two vm-license.txt refer to "redistributions" consistently, whereas the corrected sourceLicense.html  uses "redistribution" on its last occurence. Not a biggie.  There is also another insignificant(?) wording difference in the same sentence, "list of conditions" vs. "the list of conditions".  Neither difference changes the meaning, most importantly they do not contract each other.  And for a last wording difference, the expression "Neither ... nor ..." (in vm-license.txt) is more accurate that "Neither ... or '..".

In vm-license.txt the copyright is only held for 2006.

Call for a reconciliation ?

Subject: [strongtalk] *corrected source release*

                           Hi everyone,
 
 I have posted the new source release from Sun on the downloads page at
    http://www.strongta lk.org/downloads /strongtalk- source-1. 0.1.zip
 
 This is the same as the original release, except that the obsolete
 previous license file has been removed.  It is now clear that the entire
 thing is under a pure BSD-style license.  Much better!  This is the
 release everything should be based on now; the old source download has
 been removed.
