NAVRAD was: lcb missing manual

[Alex Tweedly]

Sorry, I confused things by using the word "outdated". I wasn't 
referring to the date in the copyright statement, but to the fact that 
it says "Livecode is free software [...  GPL]", and "this file is part 
of Livecode", and implications that may have on the license situation 
for the widget and anyone who uses it in an app.

Alex.
