Comment (by claus):

 the ticket is about copyright/source attribution, the discussion is
 drifting towards licensing. i assumed it was clear that the ghc code base
 was bsd-style licensed (as in: "enjoy, but please don't bother us with
 legalese";-). since bsd isn't viral, it would be nice if there was a clear
 point of entry for newcomers stating that all contributors agree to ghc's
 default license (with the few documented exceptions).

 to see that it isn't about being nice, refer to the squeak relicensing
 experience - after over a year, they still haven't identified, let alone
 tracked down all contributors (some may have left this earth, others have
 just left the social and online circles in which they were known):
