Do you think this was a wise decision? I don't. IMO, this package is not ready
of public consumption.


Rationale:

- No understandable documentation.

I have never heard about fpaste.org before, don't why I would want to access
it, nor do I understand what this package does nor why I would want to install
it.

- Very immature implementation of the script.
 * No "usage()", no support for --help.
 * Naming a script *.sh is unnessary on Unix.
 * Using a "4 letter" name such as fupt for such a script is not
   necessarily a wise decision.

- Improper upstream packaging (no tarball, no versions, ... 
  ... part of this (as you already mentioned: improper licensing).


- The script is unsafe:

if [ ! -e /usr/bin/curl ]; then
...
  cat $1 | curl -s -i -F "content=<-;type=text/plain" ..
...
Note: It tests for /usr/bin/curl but runs "curl".
