Hi all,
I wanted to package the "cdecl" [0] program for Fedora.
The upstream repository [1] does not contain any license file,
instead describing the licensing situation as follows:
You may well be wondering what the status of cdecl is. So am I. It
was
twice posted to comp.sources.unix, but neither edition carried any mention
of copyright. This version is derived from the second edition. I have
no reason to believe there are any limitations on its use, and strongly
believe it to be in the Public Domain.
Looking at other distributions, the program is available in Debian,
with the package's license tag saying simply "Public Domain".
Meanwhile, openSUSE uses a different fork [2] with some extra features,
which has been relicensed to GPLv3.
So, I guess what I'm asking is:
1) Would packaging the original "most likely in Public Domain" program be okay
in Fedora?
2) Would packaging the GPLv3-relicensed fork be okay in Fedora?
A.FI.
