They don't have to under the artistic licence.  However, they do have to
"duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated
disclaimers." which they did not do; Credit where credit is due.

Anyway, in the end IIRC the response was 'fuck it' let's have another beer
and think up some more madcap schemes.

Which brings us back around nicely to NMS and how we're going to licence
that stuff.  I think Leon will agree with me here that we should just
simply go for the 'do what the hell you want' licence.  If someone else
'steals' our code and makes a commercial library out of it, then so be it.
