Just to clarify, this issue doesn't actually require us to move around  
the license files within SVN. We'll want to stick with our current  
scheme, which I think is pretty sensible. A top-level LICENSE.txt file  
is included in the repository, and then individual directories can  
contain a LICENSE file that overrides the standard licensing scheme.

The issue is one of deployment: we assume that the product of our  
build is a set of directories you can drop right into a web server and  
start using. Deploying licenses alongside the JavaScript is  
unnecessary, so as part of the build process we can move licenses  
around or strip the files out completely.

This is an issue we can punt for Infusion 1.0.
