Hi Mike,
           Thanx for clearing my mistake. updated the licenses. One thing
more, Is there some kind of announce-list or whatever as & when the licenses
are updated so one can review if one wants to take advantage of the newer
version of license or remain with the old version. (Something akin to GPL v2
or GPL v3) . Possible, not possible please lemme know.
