License in install-global/eng includes Chris' rant against whiners. I recommend that per ticket #1, we replace this with a notice outlining what is GPL and what is not, with exceptions being BSD-like, and containing separate license information. We can include a copy og the GPLv2 in this directory, as well. Further, I'd like to propose that before we get too far into localization, we standardize on 2-letter language abbreviations, thus changing eng and ger to en and de, where these occur. -- Lewis
