Ok, here is a license: <http://rafb.net/paste/results/j88sYC87.html> |
| 15 |
I couldn't decide if this one is present already. |
| 16 |
All i have checked are slightly different. Maybe someone knows ;) |

If it is not in licenses/, can someone suggest a name for this one? |

I don't know how to diff them efficiently. I put every word in in a |

| 33 |
in something like "ask cdegroot" and "ask James Clark". |
