--- Comment #28 from Matthew Miller mattdm@mattdm.org 2010-02-02 10:41:44 EST --- Looks like qlz is available under the GPL-3, although the upstream packaging is, um, minimal in its license statements. I think a _better_ patch would make it a ./configure option, but I don't think the current state should be a blocker on getting the package in Fedora.
On another note, though: the /etc/lessfs.cfg file is really a _per filesystem_ configuration, not a global one. This is somewhat strange. This is probably a discussion for upstream, but it's important enough that it should get resolved before stuff starts going into production. Instead of /etc/lessfs.cfg, I think there should be /etc/lessfs/sample.cfg, and that should be configured with sensible defaults with the backing storage in (in /var/lib/lessfs/sample, maybe?) instead of the current default "/data".
