No problem, I can also reply late :-)

See attached the two files we intend to ship with our redistribution 
of IronPython 2.7.5 embedded into CODESYS.

I think they're not 1:1 appropriate to be shipped with pure IronPython
due to the introduction sentences at the top of each file, but I still
think they're an improvement over the current situation.

Feel free to modify and include them into IronPython (or tell me which
modifications are needed, so I can rework the file in the way you need it).

Btw, what do you think of providing an SPDX file with IronPython?
(I guess it will be much easier to do so unce upstream cPython provides
such files. See http://spdx.org/SPDX-specifications/spdx-version-2.0)
