I believe that we can satisfy the "mention where it came from" by leaving the author's attribution on top of his source files. The "mention if you've changed anything" should be fine with our ChangeLog if we put a mention of the ChangeLog into the iniparser sources. The "advertising" clauses like the early BSD license had don't mix with the GPL because they specify that you have to place the copyright not only in the source code, but also appearing someplace in the program, the documentation, the printed user's manual and the side of the box you sell at the local computer store. At least, if you take the requirement to a natural extreme. Aaron
