Legal issues asside, I think this becomes untenable. What if a Fedora
install image had, say, twelve such pieces of software. That's quite a list
of autoexec.bats to email to various places.
I agree, but the legal issue is what allows me to or prevents me from
packaging this code in Fedora. Any ideas if this is free or non-free?
The package was reviewed[1], but I don't feel comfortable uploading the
tarball into the look-aside cache without an OK from legal.

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
