Why does GutenMark discard the Project Gutenberg file header?
Or: Is this even legal? Personally, I’m of mixed feelings on this. I’d prefer to retain the header, on the grounds of giving credit where it’s due, but I’d also like to delete the header, on the grounds that it’s ugly, ugly, ugly. Speaking legalistically, if you refer to the Project Gutenberg standard file header (an example of which may be seen here), under the section titled DISTRIBUTION UNDER “PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm”, you’ll note that Project Gutenberg specifically requires the header (and all other references to PG) to be removed if the etext has been changed. It’s unclear whether GutenMark changes the etext sufficiently to activate this clause, but in any case removal of the header is always allowed. Therefore, the default is to remove the header. You can restore the PG header with GutenMark ‘s “–yes-header” command-line option. If you do so, please keep in mind that complying with PG’s requirements is entirely your responsibility.
