Thanks, the packaging seems to work well now.

Alas, this can't be said about copyright stuff.

I see that "NOTICE" includes Steven Van Ingelgem and Luca Bassanello as
contributors, and at least the former is above the threshold of
copyrightability (a rule of thumb says ~10 lines are a reasonable boundary
between a trivial vs non-trivial contribution).

The documentation bears a copyright marking of CompuPhase -- I get the
impression that CompuPhase is the author's company (no idea if employer or
owned), but legally that's distinct.

(Yeah, all this legal crap is annoying, and a waste of time that could be
spent coding -- but we don't get to choose the law. :( )


I also don't see any source for the PDF documentation.  This makes it
impossible for anyone to edit it.
