"Once, long ago, indent(3) would not touch comments starting with /*-. But not too many people used it. Fast forward to the 90s or early 2000s. I wrote a crappy tool to parse out license statements. It was super ugly perl and super slow. So I repurposed that as a marker, convinced the project to adopt it and touched almsot every file in the tree. The parser was faster, but I couldn't get it released. I think nobody else ever used it." ~imp Concludes: 9ddb49cbe (begin license clauses) Reported by: imp
