Can we have a COPYRIGHT file put up along with the source code when
the next version of magic is released? Or atleast a confirmation from
the devels that the license is "BSD Modified" which is compatible with
GPL so that we have more wider user base and help those who are using
Debian based distros to make full use of this wonderful Layout tool.

Thanks and Regards,
Aanjhan
