thanks to those authors who already added such clarifications in the 
past two days!

sugar, sugar-base and sugar-artwork provide a copy of GPL but the source 
file headers mention the LGPL.

I was hoping authors read this list and know better their code and fix 
it or add a reminder themselves. rather than me crawling over every 
project in git and filing bugs :)

The sugar packages started to enter the ubuntu 8.04 archives, and the 
missing licenses that I overlooked were caught by the archive managers.
