Hello,
I'm working on packaging various docbook-utils for the Yocto Project - a framework for creating custom embedded Linux distributions. As part of our packaging process, we try to identify the license the package is released under, and keep track of a hash of the license information. Most commonly we use the COPYING file included with the sources.
In the case of sgml-common-0.6.3.tgz, the COPYING file is a symlink to /usr/share/automake/COPYING (likewise for the INSTALL document). I could not find anything else in the tarball that would serve to represent its software license.
Scott,
I would be willing to restart managing the source code for this package, but I don't even have the account password at RedHat/SourceWare.org anymore, and I haven't been able to contact any admin there.
I know that sounds pretty stupid.
I realize this tarball was created way back in 2001, but if there is a future version of it, including a real text file would be quite helpful.
Thanks,
Scott Garman
I'll arrange new sgml-common project pages on fedorahosted.org (this or
next week) ...
Greetings,
Ondrej Vasik
That would be great. I really appreciate your efforts.
Thanks,
Scott
