(ie all the top level files except for those that have a distinct project that owns them, plus all of the files in the include/ directory tree). Are there any objections to me doing this, or any reasons for holding off for a while ? In particular I was planning to change the text inside the toplevel COPYING file to that of the GPLv3, so that would mean that any file currently released under GPLv2 and saying "see the file COPYING" would now be out of sync. Cheers Nick
