Re: [ANN] guile-scsh 0.2

[Chaos Eternal]

hi Mark
I found this file is originally from savannah CVS repository:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/guile/guile-scsh/fname.scm?root=guile&view=markup
And the license was like that.
Also, there multiple files in the repo written by the same person,
Olin Shivers, has clearly declared GPL.

I will ask Olin whether he is ok to change license.
