This reminds me of something we should probably take care of before
2.6.2.
Right now our banner says
GCL (GNU Common Lisp) (2.6.1) Fri Feb 20 16:31:57 UTC 2004
Licensed under GNU Library General Public License
Modifications of this banner must retain notice of a compatible license
Dedicated to the memory of W. Schelter
We should probably instead default to
GCL (GNU Common Lisp) (2.6.1) Fri Feb 20 16:31:57 UTC 2004
GCL source licensed under GNU Library General Public License
This binary licensed under the GPL due to the inclusion of
the following external GPL'ed features: unexec, libbfd, readline
Modifications of this banner must retain notice of a compatible license
Dedicated to the memory of W. Schelter
This list could be generated from elements in the *features* list put
in at compile time depending on the selected options.
Thoughts, (but not flames :-)) most appreciated.
Take care,
