Oh, I wasn't rendering any sort of official opinion for Fedora (I would
look to spot for that).  Rather, I think the question is an unusually
easy one to answer. No one ought to use code that has no licensing
information in it, and I think it's best to assume that it's too risky
for anyone to rely on an informal statement on a web site.  Educating
upstream developers about this is a good idea, of course.
