(1/28/99) Due to a little prodding from Sunsite, I've decided on
     the ARTISTIC LICENSE (see the LICENSE file) for Conquest.

Just FYI.

Version 1 of the Artistic license is not permitted in Fedora.  Which
version is this under?

Licensing terms for Conquest:

http://conq.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/conq/trunk/LICENSE?revision=148&v...

For me it looks like Artistic License v.1

http://www.opensource.org/licenses/artistic-license-1.0.php

Too sad.

As noted in the OSI link above, artistic 1.0 has legal issues and is a 
deprecated license. It is not permitted for new packages for quite 
sometime now though packages that were earlier included still are there 
while some folks were trying to get them relicensed after discussions 
with the various upstream projects. Fedora 10 will have no more artistic 
1.0 licensed packages anymore.

If possible, point upstream to this page and see if they are interested 
to move to artistic 2.0 or one of the many other permitted licenses.
