--- Comment #8 from Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa at redhat.com>  2009-09-29 10:22:46 EDT ---
The licensing on this package is at issue. None of the source files give any
license attribution, nor do any of the documentation files.

The presence of "COPYING" is the only clue at licensing, so you should contact
upstream and ask them to clarify what license they intend for this code to
have.

On its own, all we can assume from COPYING's presence is "GPL+".

In addition, one file has something rather worrysome:

[sender.c]:

/* The procedure was found on the Internet - unknown license status!!! */
static inline uint16_t sender_cksum(uint16_t * addr, size_t cnt, uint16_t *
pseudo, size_t pseudosz)
{

I'm pretty sure that procedure came from here:
http://aluigi.altervista.org/papers/gsmsdisc.zip

http://aluigi.org/about.htm#howuse describes Luigi's licensing, which is
effectively "Copyright Only".

You should confirm this with upstream and have them give proper attribution to
Luigi Auriemma, along with a link to his website describing the licensing
terms.
