Hi Michael--

      For what it's worth, the Naiad module system design I am 
implementing stores license information for each version of each method, 
class, category, and module, separately from each described object. (You 
could also go to a finer grain of source code characters and compiled 
method instructions, but that seems like overkill to me.) I think 
storing that information "in band" in source code is more likely to 
become untenable.


      thanks,

-C
