The last I remember, it was somewhat confused, but hopefully Kumar sees
this and clarifies for us. Of course, if you take old easy_vector_constant
bits of interest and simply rewrite them for the current code base, that
completely finesses the problem. (And if there is no other reasonable way
to express those old bits, then there is no creativity involved and thus
no copyright to worry about!)
