No problem. However, please forgive this response for I am new to this list and don't know who everyone is. I simply do not know if should take your comments as rendered opinion for the purposes of acceptance of packages into Fedora.
Oh, I wasn't rendering any sort of official opinion for Fedora (I would look to spot for that). Rather, I think the question is an unusually easy one to answer. No one ought to use code that has no licensing information in it, and I think it's best to assume that it's too risky for anyone to rely on an informal statement on a web site. Educating upstream developers about this is a good idea, of course.
