While this is not a response/suggestion, it is something I
meant to pass along to the community, and EBI in particular.
Recently, I was chatting with Richard Stallman at a lecture
(on nuclear energy) that we both attended - I pushed a couple
of his hot buttons (not hard to do as anyone who has met him
understands!) One was the term "Intellectual Property" and I
rather agree with him that the term is an artifact introduced
by "bad people". The one that I thought interesting here was
"open source" - he ranted a bit and (strongly) suggested I
read his thoughts on it before mentioning it again -
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html
He does make some interesting points. Other papers in the
directory containing that html are interesting as well.

Each tools folder has a license.txt. I think this is appropriate and
adequate. The html copyrights are for things which are more embedded
such as readline. The pcre copyright notice is now duplicated in
html and the tools\regex folder but pcre help is integrated into the
help system and so I decided to not remove the html license.
Do you think we need to do more than the txt files in tools?
