The goal for 1.0 is to ship languages separately from parrot; Can we
get a brief summary of what sort of licensing/copyright issues apply
when the languages are removed from perl.org repository?

My simplistic understanding is at that point, language authors:

- are free to change the license to any compatible one
- must maintain the original copyright notices of TPF (but can add
their own copyright notices as they change files).

Anything else?
