Hello,

This is what I am talking about all the time.
The whole issue is not a technical issue it is a legal issue.
Are we allowed to remove a license text (or whatever legal stuff)
form a package and provide it via a totally other package which
is made from totally other sources?

Kind Regards
Johannes Meixner
