Natty: Where did my changelogs go?

| I don't understand how the inclusion of the chanelog has anything to do with
| compliance of that section of the gpl for files other than the changelog its
| self. That section is specifying that if you edit a file you must ensure you
| include a notice in the file that you modified (not some other file) and
| that the notice must include the date you made the change. I don't see any
| provision in the gpl for those notices to be aggregated or expressed via a
| changelog but I'm not a lawyer so maybe someone can enlighten me?

Historically, at least in Debian, inclusion of the changelog has been
deemed sufficient, rather than having the do the extra work of marking
each file as changed.  I believe it complies with the spirit, if not the
letter of the GPL.
