Thanks for the info. I resolved this with upstream, they seem to have
no problem with re-licensing to GPLv2+.

Another question regarding this package, there is included MD2
implementation by RSA with the following text:

* MD2C.C - RSA Data Security, Inc., MD2 message-digest algorithm
 */

Is it Fedora Compatible? Does [1] apply to it?

thanks & regards
