Hey,

I am in the process of updating my Debian package of Werkzeug for 0.4 and I'm
running into some problems with the copyright and licensing.

Firstly we have the following page:

  http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/license

Which lists the copyright as "the Pocoo Team" with a BSD license.

Unfortunately the source code is littered with varying copyright holders, years,
and multiple licenses being used. The LICENCE file disagrees with the above
link, and the AUTHORS file doesn't mention all of the authors listed in the
copyright fields. From my perspective, this makes packaging very hard because I
have to exactly enumerate each combination found in the source code.

I have included a list of all the copyright statements I found, which I would
have to convert into a specific format the copyright record of my package. Each
time the package changes I am going to have to update this list, which has taken
me some time to compile.

Is there any chance you would consider consolidating the copyright and license
notices so that they all read the same and making a 0.4.1 release?
