We're not forced to display the GPL first for legal reasons. You need to
this for contract "licenses". In our case a user has no right at all to
the code (default) unless there's a license file stating something
different. Therefore a user is forced to abide by the GPL residing in
the directory because there's nothing else that gives him/her any rights
to the program.

I hope so. ;-)

Yes, yes, send me mails to remind me. I'll put it into svn right now.
