While packaging sleep for distribution in Fedora, I've come up against
the following issues:

The license.txt file is old and has the wrong address for the FSF.
Please update to http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.html

You list that the source is licensed under the LGPL, however most of
the source files do not include any kind of license header in them,
and many (about 50) are under the artistic license, e.g:

Could this please get addressed? Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to drop a note. I'll address these things
you've pointed out. I have a lot on my plate right now, but I'll do my
best to get it done soon.

Any progress on this?

Also, any plans to move to maven for building sleep?

Thanks,

Orion

A definite no on this one. Sleep doesn't have any external
dependencies beyond Java.
