commit 14eb7c2665382d54bfdf37f3687e2cd431f7c7b9
Author: Milan Straka <fox at ucw.cz>
Date:   Sun Dec 16 21:19:39 2012 +0100

    Remove references to Report and FFI from LICENSE
    
    The LICENSE claimed that the source code of containers comes from three
    sources:
    * from GHC project, licensed under GHC license
    * from Haskell Report, licensed under Haskell Report license
    * from FFI, licensed under FFT license
    It did not specify which fragments of code came from where. That caused
    confusion among the containers users.
    
    Me (Milan Straka) and Johan Tibell believe that in the containers source
    there is no code derived from Haskell Report, and that in the containers
    source there is no code derived from FFI, so I removed the references to
    Haskell Report and FFI from the LICENSE.
    
    Now the LICENSE file contains only the GHC license, without any
    comments.
