Hi,
I have been using this browser for a while and I wonder whether the ISC license (something I had never heard of before) is something that allows for it to be packaged for fedora.
Here is the license: https://opensource.conformal.com/wiki/Main_Page
And the software page is here:
https://opensource.conformal.com/wiki/xxxterm
From what I read there, the software will change its name to xombrero
from the next release (or something like that).
I was able to compile the git version without any trouble.
Best wishes, Ranjan

They are using an old version of the ISC license that wasn't accepted by the Free Software Foundation. The current ISC license is equivalent to the simplified BSD license, but it requires the first sentence to read "and/or distribute this software" and not just "and distribute this software". The license text on the webpage you provided is the pre-2007 version of the ISC license.
Perhaps you could persuade them to change it to the current version.
