question on a new license in a new package.

Hi,

The HBAAPI project:
http://hbaapi.sourceforge.net/
uses a license called the SNIA Public License Version 1.0. In the source header there is this:

 * License:
 *      The contents of this file are subject to the SNIA Public License
 *      Version 1.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in
* compliance with the License. You may obtain a copy of the License at
 *
 *      /http://www.snia.org/English/Resources/Code/OpenSource.html
 *
 *      Software distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS"
 *      basis, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. See
* the License for the specific language governing rights and limitations
 *      under the License.


The problem is that this SNAI licsense is not listed under good licenses here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing
so I wanted to get it cleared, but the link to the license in the headers is a dead link.

If the maintainers of the code do not have a copy of the license and the people at SNIA do not respond to emails about it, what are my options? If I find something on google in another project that says it is the snia public license 1.0, can I include it with the source and send to you guys to get cleared? What if I cannot find 1.0 (I can find 1.1 but not 1.0)?

Do I just have to ditch the sourceforge project and write code from scratch and license it how I want?

Thanks

Mike
