[xmlroff] question about the license

[Jens Petersen]

Hi,

(I am completely new to xmlroff, so forgive me if I look clumsy wading 
in like this.:)

I wanted to ask about the license of xmlroff.  I was trying to make an 
package with the idea of hopefully submitting it for inclusion in Fedora 
[1], and I noticed that the license has a restriction that the software 
is not to be used for nuclear work.

While I sympathize with the gesture (not sure how easy it is to enforce 
in practice), it unfortunately makes the software non-free at least 
context of Fedora [2]: ie meaning that it cannot be included in the 
Fedora linux distribution.  So I am wondering if you would consider 
changing the license (basically dropping that final sentence from 
COPYING would be sufficent) so as to make xmlroff free software.

Thank you for your kind consideration.

Jens
