I'm no expert on licenses which is why I've stayed quiet so far on this
one... I'd be happy to vote though if somebody wanted to call for one.

I'm inclined to agree with this.  It just sounds a whole lot simpler.

Individual credit is nice, especially when the #includes more explicit in
what they make or what they do.  But to my mind, crediting the "Library"
with a capital-L (whatever it ends up being named)with the individual
credit appearing in the individual files would be enough for me anyway.   If
something I made were refered to as "the ____ from the [name_of_library]"
I'd be happy.
