I'm actually the author of that file, together with Steinar :-)

That appears to be factually incorrect, at least where it concerns the
 copyright on the WMI-related code, on which I also have copyright.

Ideally, I would want to use the machine-parsable copyright format for
Debian for this file in the future
(http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat). Would this be an ok
format to use for Fedora as well?

Indeed, agreed.

Yeah, that would be nice. How close are we to being able to link against
a system-provided Heimdal?

Cheers,
