Hi,

I'm writing a compiler that will eventually be a build dependency of glibc and so (hopefully!) end up in Fedora. I want to use two Python libraries as dependencies, but I'd like clarification that both have ok licenses for Fedora before I dive in.

1. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/arpy

This one has no LICENSE file; the top of the source file says this:

Could you confirm that this is 2 clause BSD ("License: BSD") and that I just need to get the maintainers to add a LICENSE file for this to be ok for Fedora?

2. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyelftools

This one has two license files, LICENSE:

pyelftools is in the public domain (see below if you need more details).

pyelftools uses the construct library for structured parsing of a binary stream. construct is packaged in pyelftools/construct - see its LICENSE file for the license.

Am I right that the second is MIT (Modern Style with sublicense) and that this package would have "License: Public Domain and MIT"?

Thanks in advance, Gary
