Note:
In this table not all files are listed which have licenses
other than DOC license.

The files listed in the left column are the examples of
files having the licenses listed on the right column. There may
be some other files "near" the files listed on the left which
have the same licenses.

@ spot:
Would you review the license attached? I am especially concerned
about the part "You may copy and extend functionality 
(but may not remove functionality)".

By the way for now I only checked files named "*.{h,cpp,hpp}"
with excluding files under */tests/ directories, however
there are already more than 8000 files.
Actually there are more than 50000 files in this tarball.
Do we have to check all of these files?

@ Ken:
This package contains some codes which are licensed under GPLv2+
and some codes under "BSD with advertising".
Would you verify if these codes are seperated (i.e. not linked
or included) altogether? Otherwise these licenses are in
conflict, which renders this package to be non-approvable.
