Thanks - much appreciated. > 1) it was suggested to use the short identifier: "ibm-pibs" - do you > have any objection to "IBM-pibs"?

So no objections from my side. > 2) in regards to the two different copyright dates you mentioned below > (2002 and 1995) - I have compared the actual text of the 2002 version > you listed in this email and the 1995 version you provided links to in a > subsequent email and the only difference is the date itself.

Agreed. I think I could find some more versions of this license if I dig deeper in our old code archives, but those I've seen so far all differ in the date only. So your suggestion makes perfect sense. > If you could get back to me as to the first item as soon as possible, > that would be great. Thanks for your help with that!
