Linus, could you please suggest a suitable license statement to

The last tag in darcs-unstable is 1.0.0rc2, which prevents me from
publishing a partial repository in my web space. Perhaps you could
pull a recent tag into darcs-unstable?

That would be great (let me know if you need an ssh public key).
