Hi guys.  I was looking through the recent release of the ML Kit, and
I saw that you used some of the basis library code from MLton to
implement the Posix structure.  That is great.  However, I also
noticed that you removed the copyright notice from the top of the file
(for example, see PosixProcess.sml).  The file that you obtained from
MLton (for example, basis-library/posix/process.sml) had the following
lines at the top:

(* Copyright (C) 1997-1999 NEC Research Institute.
 * Please see the file LICENSE for license information.
 *)

MLton is distributed under the GPL, as the file MLton-LICENSE states.
You are required to keep this copyright notice, as well as distribute
the GPL along with any of your code.  

Could you please do the following to correct the problem.

1. Add the copyright notice back to any files that you have
copied/modified from MLton.

2. Add an attribution to the code to indicate that it came from
MLton.

3. Include a copy of the MLton license (the GPL) in your
distribution.  It was not in your binary RPM, as far as I could see.

Thanks.
