I phoned Danny Sorensen to try and get clarification for this. He stated that
it was the lawyers at RICE that required him to have the license, and so he
hesitated to change the license due to the need to involve the RICE lawyers in
the loop. He was however willing to clarify the statement

Written notification is provided to the developers of intent to use
this software. Also, we ask that use of ARPACK is properly cited in
any resulting publications or software documentation.

and how it applies to Fedora. The clarification is in the attached e-mail above
from Danny. Essentially, he is not asking that Fedora or their users inform him
of the use of ARPACK. However, he is requesting that the "eigs" function that
uses ARPACK cites it. This is in fact the case, however, I take this statement
a bit further in meaning that code that links to ARPACK muct mention ARPACK in
its documentation

Is this an acceptable clarification? If not what is needed to further clarify
this point?

Regards
David
