[Fedora-legal-list] *GPL ... approaching 1990s?

[Matěj Cepl]

Hi,

I was contemplating to use LGPL for a small project of mine (in the end 
I've decided otherwise for other reasons) but I was again struck by the 
sheer nonsense of attaching 481 lines long COPYING.LGPL to 194 lines 
long script. Would there be anything wrong with replacing the standard 
LGPL copyright blurb with this acknowledging an existence of the Internet?
