I would like to support all this. Whitespace is not a minor issue.
Inconsistencies wreak havoc on CVS diffs. It seems that some
text editors try to correct these inconsistencies (e.g. to change
any 3-space indentation back to 2-space indentation) which results
in an unnecessary and confusing diff.
* The main license has 2-space indentation which is great. However
some lines have an odd number of spaces, e.g. the first line here
incorrectly has 3 spaces while the second line correctly has 6 spaces.

* The example "copyright" line has one double-space in the middle
of the text.
* The NOTICEs sections incorrectly have 3-space indentation.
* Some other licenses (e.g. cla.txt) have 3-space indentation
rather than 2-space.
* I checked some licences for trailing spaces at end-of-lines
and they seemed fine, but i did not check all licenses.
