Would that be correct? I don't think Public Domain is correct. That normally needs to be expressly specified and the author clearly isn't doing that. It's similar to WTFPL, but not enough to be called that. Spot is at FOSDEM, so this will probably need to wait until he looks it over. If it were me, I'd ask upstream to relicense it to something a bit more standard in any case. josh _______________________________________________ legal mailing list legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
