Well, this is indeed an unusual case. Although no single file is over 10 lines, I suspect that the collection of files overall would still be considered copyrightable. After all, it's more than 50 files. Since the individual files are so tiny, though, it would be pointless to GPL them. So my recommendation would be to use a permissive license, such as Expat. Include a file named "LICENSE" at the top level with the text from http://www.jclark.com/xml/copying.txt (changing the copyright line of course), and then put something like # License: Expat into each file. That would fit into the existing setup. Plus a top-level README explaining. In any event, an explicit copyright/license remains desirable, if only to stop useless questioning down the line, e.g., if this gets included in a distro or something. Sound reasonable? Thanks (for everything), Karl
