I just submitted the license to license-discuss at opensource.org,
in order to start the process rolling to make code officially
OSI Certified open source.

It is a variant on BSD, it should be easy.

Is there an easy way to download all of the sources?  Some of them
apparently need to have the copyright stripped off of them to be
useful (or modified to use the proper comment characters).

What about using httrack (-> www.httrack.com) to create a local copy of
the site, then "cp -r" the source directory tree from it's cloned location
inside the copy to a different area for inspection?
