License name question for io_lib
Dear All,
I'm planning to submit a new bioinformatics package, io_lib, for review
shortly, and am unsure what is the proper license name. I thought
BSD-like summed it up pretty well, but rpmlint does not agree. Here is
the license in full:
=== 8< ===
All files within the io_lib subdirectories should contain the following notice:
/*

The package itself is hosted on SF here:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/staden/io_lib-1.11.0.tar.gz
Any advice ?
Thanks,
Christian
P.S.
- Anyone interested to review and/or co-maintain is welcome to ping me.
- I find the package name a bit disturbing...
- this package builds some tools and a static library. There is no
shared version, and I don't have time to hammer one out, but if someone
feels inclined to provide patches I'll gladly take them and try to
funnel them upstream.
