A) You don't have to keep the license text in your program, no. None of our C
files have the complete license text, and we changed the boilerplate of the
permission grants (which said to mail away for a copy of the license text).
B) It's not the same license text, it's some _other_ license text. Can we be
required to keep a complete copy of Linconln's gettysburg address in each of
our source files without violating the GPL as well?
