I noticed with some amusement that the copyright in some
 of the GHC library files is wrong.  It claims the copyright
 belongs to the University of Glasgow, but it doesn't
 (at least not for all the code).
 I know, because I wrote the original code.  And copyright law
 states that the author holds the copyright even if the work does
 not contain a copyright notice.
 An example of such a file is libraries/base/GHC/Float.lhs.

 I don't really care if this is fixed our not; I'm happy to share
 the code, but a line of attribution doesn't seem like an outrageous
 request.
