Okay, so modifications are not major: different address of free
software foundation, completely different formatting, some characters
added, and some characters removed. It no longer contains Linus'

Now... I believe nothing evil is going on, but having two slightly
different copies of GPL in one source seems wrong, can we get rid of

I'll ask around here and see if this doesn't make people cringe. Meanwhile Pavel should examine sound/oss/COPYING and arch/sparc/lib/COPYING.LIB too :)

Cheers,

Auke
