This looks possibly MIT-ish to me. Can someone confirm? (this is for scrip)

GPLv1 license tag?
by Jon Stanley
What would the proper license tag be for something that is licensed
under GPLv1 (only)? I don't see such a thing on the license page.
(this is for the cleanup project and the package is 'ncview'). I
imagine that this would be just GPLv1, right?

libmad
by Ding Yi Chen
Hi,
Just wondering whether libmad (http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/)
can be included in fedora. It is GPL, but it is also an implementation
of MP3.
So I am not sure whether we should include it in Fedora.

TrueCrypt
by Luke Macken
Hi,
I'm wondering if the latest TrueCrypt license is acceptable for Fedora.
http://www.truecrypt.org/legal/license
I know there have been issues with various ambiguities in the past, but
the rumor on the street is that their license has drastically improved.
Thanks,

parts of GLX under non-free licenses
by Robert Schuster
Hi,
the Ubuntu-based gNewSense distribution removed parts of GLX because of
a license issue[0]. They did so because SGI Public License and SGI Free
Software License B are non-free.
According to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing this is also true
for Fedora and the JOGL package was removed because of it.
It is known that Debian is aware of the problem since 2003 but has not
come up with a solution.
The removal of the files breaks apps like compiz-fusion and the like.
Is this problem solved in Fedora?
If not it might be good if we can get in contact with the copyright
holder of those files and ask for a relicensing.
Regards
Robert
