Hi all, I wanted to package the "cdecl" [0] program for Fedora. The upstream repository [1] does not contain any license file, instead describing the licensing situation as follows: > You may well be wondering what the status of cdecl is. So am I. It was > twice posted to comp.sources.unix, but neither edition carried any mention > of copyright. This version is derived from the second edition. I have > no reason to believe there are any limitations on its use, and strongly > believe it to be in the Public Domain. Looking at other distributions, the program is available in Debian, with the package's license tag saying simply "Public Domain". Meanwhile, openSUSE uses a different fork [2] with some extra features, which has been relicensed to GPLv3. So, I guess what I'm asking is: 1) Would packaging the original "most likely in Public Domain" program be okay in Fedora? 2) Would packaging the GPLv3-relicensed fork be okay in Fedora? A.FI.
