I am the culprit who removed the copyright notice from the files from ttfps which are used in ttftool, I have done so without a malicious intent, after some deliberation in the light of the "licence" with which the program comes. The readme file from the package contains the following statement:
<quote> Copying ******* This software is provided with no guarantee, not even of any kind. Feel free to do whatever you wish with it as long as you don't ask me to maintain it. </quote> I understood this as implying two things: (1) the code was placed into a public domain; the statement effectively renders the copyright notices meaningless, because "whatever" includes the removal of them. (2) the author wanted to pretty much disassociate himself from any responsibility for code once released. Having extended the code, I assumed that the author would not want to be associated with any new bugs, and felt it appropriate to remove the copyright notices; without this step the author would have been likely receiving numerous bug reports and requests for enhacement. Not having included the author in AW credits list was a _bad_ oversight, for which I appologize. I am also more than happy to have the (c) lines included back in the files. However, I would like to point out, without trying to excuse bad error of judgement on my part, that if a persons wishes to maintain intellectual rights on software they write and distribute, they do have to include meaningful licence; the statement in the ttfps readme does not fall into that category.
