Hi Carlo, - As Gilad pointed out, the file sourceLicense.html is the single actual license. The others are obsolete, from the previous release. - The 1.0.1 source for download does not contain a vm-license.txt file in the top level directory, so you may have mixed the 1.0 files in with the 1.0.1 files on your disk. - I have already noticed and fixed the documentation sourceLicense; it has been removed and links now point to the top level license file (in the next release). - I hadn't noticed the vm/vm-license.txt file. I will remove that also, thanks!

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 ? Yahoo!
