Description

There are copyright notices for AllMyData?, Inc. in setup.py and docs/man/tahoe.1, which should be updated to The Tahoe-LAFS Software Foundation.

Also, these files aren't the most obvious places to look, so I suggest adding a notice in README.txt, where the license terms are.

Hmm, the license terms are duplicated in README.txt and docs/about.rst. Should one of those point to the other?

Maybe. It got that way originally because Brian wanted an introductory README.txt which was readable without a web browser, but I wanted introductory files that had hyperlinks and nicer formatting. I wouldn't object to making README.txt be just a short text directing the reader to [docs/about.rst]. I would object to making the reader of about.rst look elsewhere for the licensing summary.

I don't really care about the duplication in this case, so let's call it fixed.
