 yeah 2017-2009= err... 8 years: it's too long ago for me to remember
details. i have never been a fan of permissive licenses: however
pyjamas was a project i inherited and so there was not a lot of choice
*sigh*.

agreed.

well at least this exercise has prompted me to take an interest in the
code again. i notice there's some modifications made: also i tested
it out on lintian (in debian) which is a single wildcard "*" and
there's clearly something amiss: not one of the matches is correct.

i'll check this out and get back to you (separate bugreport).
