I said some time ago that I would pester contrib authors about fixing
license issues, but it still hasn't gotten to the top of my to-do list :-(
AFAIK nothing at all has been done on this score.
If Merlin is hot about contrib/userlock right now, he's welcome to try
to contact the original author and get this dealt with.
The point about not importing documentation from a mislicensed contrib
module is valid IMHO.
