Or perhaps a link to a file inside the snowball, where this full header is, plus whatever compatible license you want to couple it with.
And a suggestion:
It'd be nice if the docs mentioned that if you're using a *BSD, you probably want to use gtar when creating snowballs. I was racking my brain for a while on that one. Using NetBSD's default tar at least, seems to confuse snowman when it tries to unpack the snowball saying something about invalid filenames.
All my computers run FreeBSD, and I never had any issue with snow and tar. One solution could be a snow package that builds others, with a simple tar embedded.
