--- Comment #2 from Aleksei Bavshin alebastr89@gmail.com --- Adding FE-Legal blocker.
https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel/blob/master/LICENSE.sixel looks benign and the source files in question mention that the code was relicensed under MIT[1][2]. I can't read the original license text though and not qualified to make decisions on the custom licenses, however permissive these are.
Several sources are also originally distributed under public domain. In my (limited) understanding that means it's fine to distribute the result under MIT and keep the License tag as simple `MIT`.
Ben, can you please look into that and confirm that it's safe to consider the combined work licensed as MIT? I hope we have someone who can read Japanese flavor of legalese :)
