"All code is released to the public domain. For business purposes, Murmurhash
is under the MIT license."

I'm having trouble understanding what that actually means.  Is it public domain
or not?  What are "business purposes"?  Why do software authors think they can
just make random legal-sounding statements like that?

Being a separate upstream project (own version, release schedule, license,
etc.) the murmurhash code would seem to run afoul of the bundled library
policy.  It seems like a pretty clear exception (it's only 50 lines of code
anyway) but the current policy has no automatic exemption based on size.

Can you file an exception request with FPC?
