Hi,
Libaca is licensed under the "DO WHAT THE F**K YOU WANT TO PUBLIC
LICENSE". Here is the full text (it's so short) :
DO WHAT THE F**K YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim or modified

0. You just DO WHAT THE F**K YOU WANT TO.

It's pretty much Public Domain with the obligation of changing the name
for redistribution. What should I do regarding the license field of the
package? Do we need to add a new "WTFPL" possible entry? :-) The
libcaca sources also come with copies of the GPLv2 and LGPLv2, but
those aren't referenced anywhere in the source code, except the
autotools part.

PS: The original License text doesn't have the "**".
