Question about Xen figlet artistic license & Fedora rules

[Daniel P. Berrange]

I've just noticed that the Xen source tre includes a copy of the figlet
source code. This appears to be licensed under the original non-clarified
artisitic 1.0 license which is on the forbidden list.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#head-d8cc605dd386091c8b6be97b8a43fb6...

The differences between the original & clarified licenses are rather subtle
though, so I'd like someone to confirm.  I'm attaching the LICENSE file
that Xen includes in its source tree at  xen/tools/figlet/LICENSE

If this is indeed the forbidden version I'll push this upstream to get Xen
to remove figlet.

Dan.

This is indeed the original Artistic 1.0 license. You might try to get
the figlet copyright holder(s) to either dual license with something
else, or relicense to something else (perhaps Artistic 2.0).
