Rich:

The Desktop team is using license file format like the attached one we
use for liboil.  We use a header that provides the module name, version
number and tracking number before the license text.  My reading of the
requirements was that the license file had to contain all this info.
But, perhaps the name and version can also reasonably be figured out
from the package in other ways.

Should we be using a more common format across Userland & Desktop?

Hi Kevin,
I see nothing wrong with your changes - except areca probably needs an
update, see below:
-TPNO#'s look right
-nothing added/changed that looks incorrect
-your one change to a .p5m file looks good, etc.

That being said I've noted the minor diffs from your license text
changes compared to whats in the tracking tool. I'd even argue that
your non-changes are typically better (wrapped lines, blank lines vs
the tool that did not wrap lines or were missing blank lines in some
cases, etc.) Still, I noted the diffs just for the sake of being
thorough.

If you update areca (or ping legal on it?) I'd give these changes a
thumbs up, the rest is your call.

Apart from an extra blank line and line wrapping differences, I've
updated all
the ones you mention (see more details below).
