Glenn, can you make an authoritative statement? I can authoritatively say that it mentions all the issues I know about at present. People can ask me if they need more details on any particular issue. (with-pessimism Though it's entirely possible other people could find more such issues than I did. It would be "fun" to cross-reference all non-tiny changelog entries against copyright.list sometime). It would be a big help if anyone could assist with the many image files in etc/images, none of which have any real legal information that I could see. I still want to ask the lawyer if there is such a thing as a "trivial" image which does not need a copyright; but clearly listing the provenance of all the images there would be a good start, I think.
