[netCDF #TWY-871356]: License question

No, it is our intention to have all netCDF software covered by the same 
license as the source distributions:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/copyright.html

If the copyright notice is not included in a binary distribution, that's
an inadvertent omission on our part.
