The 'tdom' package has the following license. This looks free enough to me, but I don't know which license tag I should use for this, or if a new one should be created.

It looks a bit like http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/CopyrightOnly redundantly, since this software available free of charge for any purpose. and This software may be copied, and distributed, with or without modifications; means about the same.
