Hello.
As noted in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452584#c13 , mldonkey appears to include a header file with a licence I wasn't able to identify. My concern is that (if I'm reading it correctly) it doesn't grant explicit permission to distribute derivative works, only "make and use" them.
Am I mistaken? Is this licence acceptable for Fedora?

That's spot on! Thanks a bunch. I don't know how I missed it.
