That was the effect of the agreement + which the principal authors of ncurses made in 1998. However, since much of + the file itself is of unknown authorship (and the disclaimer below makes it + obvious that Raymond cannot or will not convey rights over those parts), + there is no explicit copyright notice on the file itself. + + It would also be a nuisance to split the file into unknown/known authorship + and move pieces as they are maintained, since many of the maintenance changes + have been small corrections to Raymond's translations to/from termcap format, + correcting the data but not the accompanying annotations. + + In any case, note that almost half of this file is not data but annotations + which reflect creative effort. Furthermore, the structure of entries to + reuse common chunks also is creative (and subject to copyright).
