Porters,

I just released Encode 2.16 as follows. In terms of codes it is virtually no different from 2.15 but it contains two important non- code fixes.

First, it addresses the absence of COPYRIGHT section. Since Encode is part of core and I felt owe my fellows too much credit to claim such, I kept leaving that part intentionally blank -- till I got this.

Second, I perltidy-ed all *.pm's Encode has accepted so many patches and in a course of doing so, it kinda turned into a grab-bag of coding styles. I reckoned time is high that I applied good practices. The only difference from the perltidy default is -l=76; I so did because that's what MIME header uses.

Ticket <URL: http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19056 >
There is no license in the Encode package.  It is not clear under what
basis CPAN has permission to distribute the module.

So I finally put my name on COPYRIGHT while adding this disclaimer to MAINTAINER section.

  While Dan Kogai retains the copyright as a maintainer, the credit
  should go to all those involoved.  See AUTHORS for those submitted
  codes.

If any of you listed on AUTHORS section and want your name added to COPYRIGHT, you are welcome.

Encode remains 2.12 there but I consider the current version mature enough for maint. Nicholas, would to consider doing so?
