If you hadn't added lots of verbatim text into files but had
just called

  for n in "foo.m4 ..."; do
    sed <$n >$n.new -e '/@license .*/@license AllPermissive/'
    mv $n.new $n
  done

with the appropriate list of files, like I _explained_ you
should do right after you volunteered, then the file
movement wouldn't have affected you at all.

Perplexing, isn't it?

I am sorry for your wasted efforts. I really am.
Nonetheless: when I agree with someone to do one thing, but
he goes ahead and does something completely different, then
I don't see how I would be responsible when things go wrong.
So please don't blame me.
