Thanks very much for the clarification. While I'm nor a lawyer nor any kind of expert on the matter, I think this is absolutely OK. Maybe I'm blind, but I did not find this license in the esnacc-1.6.tar.gz archive. It would prevent further confusion, if you just put the complete license into the next release of eSNACC. The GPL is already included, which makes people believe that the complete package might be GPLed. Cheers, WB (Minor point: You changed the name of the GPL file from COPYING into copying. This is a little bit unusual. You changed also ChangeLog into changelog, Makefile into makefile, NEWS into news, which is also not consistent with most other software I know. Would you mind to change this back? Also, the ChangeLog has not changed since 1997...)
