Aha, yes, that's 1/2 of what I was referring to :)  The other half are
those copyright years that predate the 1999 claimed in our copyright
file.

I also found what looks like a new issue: Those files that Rob McCool
authored as part of NCSA httpd that are part of mini-httpd, what
license are they?  Attribution would be required if they were MIT/Expat,
BSD, or similar.  This issue might also affect apache2's copyright file,
if anything remains of NCSA in Apache.  Httpd predates the "NCSA"
license, by the way.  If you can't find anything about it, then consider
contacting the debian-legal mailing list, because someone there might
remember the original NCSA httpd licence.  P.S. It feels like
archaeology to find missing documentation for something from the dawn of
the Web!  Also, it's a mystery to me what license the original httpd
was.

Thanks.

Thank you :)

You're welcome.  We're in the last round of review, by the way, and I
think it will be ready to upload with the next update.

I hope that the forests aren't burning, wherever you are.

Take care,
Nicholas
