Hi Ineiev!

Ah, the generated ChangeLog variant did't have it, now added
during generation as a footer.

> and license notices.

Added.

> doc/images/README is empty.

Oops, content added.

> Looking again in doc/fosdem/README: now it does specify license

Does this mean I should remove this talk, and that it cannot be
distributed?

Yes, I copied what the document

   
http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP/book/LISP%25201.5%2520Programmers%2520Manual.pdf

says.

> Does it mean private persons can't copy it for their own purposes?

Hmm, I think of that possible implication, but IANAL.  I thought this
would imply that distributing it verbatim would be allowed.  When I
created this talk, I thought it was safe to assume that
www.softwarepreservation.org is not distributing this illegally.

Either that, or the FOSDEM talk would have to be removed.

OK, I added a relicence patch; as these files are taken from GNU Guile,
for with FSF is explicitly (in these files) copyright holder, that
should be OK now.

Changes are up on

    the wip-gnu branch at: http://gitlab.com/janneke/mes
    a preliminary tarball: http://lilypond.org/janneke/mes-0.17-rc4.tar.gz
