Because the argument can easily be made that by "automating" it to the degree we have, we've removed even the most general oversight the user would usually have were they building the sources by hand. I'm just trying to forstall any future bad feeling, and we should definitely go the extra mile to make sure that copyrights are preserved out of ports and packages if for no other reason than to make US more aware of the licenses we're using or abusing.
