staple / unstaple is an all-or-nothing data "binder" / unbinder, licensed under the BSD license. http://sysnet.ucsd.edu/projects/staple/ The author raises a concern that unstaple might be considered illegal due to its ability to brute-force the stapled file, and the FAQ listed some use cases involving misappropriation of intellectual property (the pirated file is combined with the author's own files, stapled together, and attempts to unstaple this collection arguably violates the DMCA). In view of this, staple is shipped separately from unstaple. Would either, or both, be acceptable in Fedora? Could we get staple in Fedora and unstaple in some non-US repositories?
