[Fedora-legal-list] PublicDomain license: MonadCatchIO-mtl Haskell package

[Shakthi Kannan]

Hi,

I had contacted upstream regarding PublicDomain license for Haskell
package MonadCatchIO-mtl [1] as mentioned at:

   http://www.mail-archive.com/legal@lists.fedoraproject.org/msg00380.html

The response is as follows:

=== REPLY ===

Hi

If I recall correctly, this package was built from gathering code
snippets that were posted by others on public mailing lists. Hence, I
consider it to be in the public domain and don't want to claim any
form of copyright on it (not even the claiming-and-releasing that, if
I understand correctly, the CC-0 license does).

If I understand correctly, if I don't claim to be the copyright
holder, I cannot provide you with a useful statement. Of course, I'm
not a lawyer and I don't have much experience with licensing issues,
so I'm open to more knowledgable advice.

Thanks
Daniel

=== END ===

Please let me know as to how we can proceed further?

Appreciate any inputs,

Thanks!
