Thanks for the tips. It would be great if someone throws light on the
licensing of Magic? It seems to be BSD Licensed from what I noticed
but there is no clear LICENSE file. But in fedora I see the license
for MAGIC mentioned as GPLv2. I am confused.

Thanks David once again for those notes. I am going through it and
will try to sort things out.

Regards,
Aanjhan
