Subject: Re: [9fans] Transfer of Plan 9 to the Plan 9 Foundation

The LPL is dead. It died when all the Plan 9 IP was transferred to the
foundation.
Nokia is out of the picture.
So let's realign this discussion a bit. The Plan 9 source formerly
owned by Nokia is owned by the foundation. That source is released
under the MIT license.
As for the inclusion of source not owned by the foundation, if that
source has a license (e.g. MIT) which allows other projects, including
the foundation's Plan 9 project, to include it in a distribution or
repo, then that is ok. As per common practice, and up to the
discretion of the author, the files typically include a license header
and copyright notice.
I'm not understanding the issue here. This is all pretty settled
stuff: source code under one copyright and an MIT license which
includes other source code covered by a different copyright and an MIT
license.
