Simon P.J. suggests an alternative which doesn't involve changing the
wording of the license: change the copyright notice to read "The
Univesity of Glasgow and others, named in the accompanying source code
or other material." (perhaps the wording could be better, but that's
the best I could come up with for now).
I just noticed that Ross suggested something very similar earlier,
sorry! However, since we're giving people the option of distributing
without source code, the copyright shouldn't require the source code to
be present, hence the phrase "or other material".
Cheers,
Simon
