I was messing around with some pretty printing stuff in Pugs, and I got tired of Text.PrettyPrint.HughesPJ, and wound up wanting to use PPrint. But I don't see any license anywhere for it, so I'm naturally a bit hessitant to stick it in the Pugs svn tree...
In the version of PPrint that I use, there is a license notice in the documentation (pprint.html). I just copied that notice into the PPrint.hs file before using it in my own projects, like so: {- From the documentation distributed with this library: Copyright 2000, Daan Leijen.

It is pretty obvious that, while the license is in the documentation, it is meant to apply to the code. /jaap
