[GRASS5] Digging for license problems

[Bernhard Reiter]

With the recent license changes of the Uicu Group with Helena and Bill,
I started with the tedious task to check through the huge GRASS sources
for similiar problems. It is tedious because it can only create bad news,
but somebody has to do it...

Searching for the keyword "commercial"
I turned up a couple of problematic cases.

Let's start with the easy ones:
	The ones involving uicu were mailed to Helena directly and
	I expect them to released under GPL soon (Thanks to Helena).


And now the ones were we have to ask authors with more than one
contribution:

There are several commands by
 * Author: James Darrell McCauley (mccauley@@ecn.purdue.edu)
 *         USDA Fellow
 *         Department of Agricultural Engineering

 * documentation for non-commercial purposes is hereby granted. This

	Jaroslav Hofierka:
 	He seems to have added software in 2000, when GRASS already
	was released under GPL.

 * This program, both binary and source is copyrighted, but available without
 * fee for education, research and non-commercial purposes.

And now the authors with minor contributions where we can ask:

grass/src/libes/geom/basic/cb_doprnt.c
	Steve Summit



And now the ones which look like we do not have a big chance here,
I suggest moving them into non.GPL until we can get an answer:


	Numerical Recipes:

grass/src.contrib/CERL/sites/s.surf.krig/NR.c
/*-
NUMERICAL RECIPES ROUTINES BELOW
ludcmp routine - finds inverse of matrix A
/*-lubksb routine - multiplies inverse of matrix A (from lucmp) by matrix b
*                   and returns matrix x (weights) in "b".
