Hi,
I'm writing a compiler that will eventually be a build dependency of
glibc and so (hopefully!) end up in Fedora. I want to use two Python
libraries as dependencies, but I'd like clarification that both have
ok licenses for Fedora before I dive in.
1. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/arpy
This one has no LICENSE file; the top of the source file says this:

Could you confirm that this is 2 clause BSD ("License: BSD") and that
I just need to get the maintainers to add a LICENSE file for this to
be ok for Fedora?
2. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyelftools
This one has two license files, LICENSE:
pyelftools is in the public domain (see below if you need more details).
pyelftools uses the construct library for structured parsing of a binary
stream. construct is packaged in pyelftools/construct - see its LICENSE
file for the license.

Am I right that the second is MIT (Modern Style with sublicense) and
that this package would have "License: Public Domain and MIT"?
Thanks in advance,
Gary
