Hello, I asked an author of a public code I want to package to Fedora,
this is his answer:

> You are free to use the code in any way you choose, including attempting to sell it for
> a profit (I think people have).  The code was written long before licenses became standardized.

When I asked him to specify the license, he added:

> It's unlicensed.  I just gave you permission to use it.

Is it possible to package this into Fedora?
Thanks for your help.
