This alone gives many permissions. See the license text for the details. The real reason not to use the "libtar" namespace for a fork are others. See my comment to the review request. [1] Dunno whether this license matches any on Fedora's list of licenses. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
