Working my way through a package review for gargoyle. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682544 .
Most of the software in the package is GPL. However, one dependency (glulxe) has some terms that I am not sure about. Is the glulxe license acceptable in Fedora? I've pasted it below.
The source code in this package is copyright 1999-2010 by Andrew Plotkin. You may copy and distribute it freely, by any means and under any conditions, as long as the code and documentation is not changed. You may also incorporate this code into your own program and distribute that, or modify this code and use and distribute the modified version, as long as you retain a notice in your program or documentation which mentions my name and the URL shown above.

Looks like MIT to me. (I do not speak for Fedora Legal.)

It's MIT-ish, but definitely distinct and different. Still working out the details, stay tuned.

Any updates?
Please let me know if I need to block FE-LEGAL on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/682544 to keep this in the queue.
