Rony -

Unfortunately, I don't think that is a good idea. That block is there for 
a number of reasons, including copyright as well as license issues. The 
CPL license does not completely dissolve responsibilities for reuse of the 
software from a copyright perspective, only from a license perspective.

I don't like it any better than you do, but that is the world we live in.

Hi there,

just curious: would it be sufficient to include in (Rexx) programs the 
following line to make it clear the license that applies to it?
license:          CPL 1.0 (Common Public License v1.0, see accompanying 
file "CPLv1.0.txt")
This way one could fogo that boring copy-block at the beginning of the 
programs.

Regards,
