However, there's a bigger problem here. Some of the code is not clearly

* The copyright notice on kstring.h lacks copyright dates.
* The copyright dates in seqtk.c and LICENSE are incorrect
("20082-2012").
* ksw.h and trimadap.c lack any copyright notice at all. The mere
presence of a LICENSE file is not enough, especially given the lack of
any statement about the code license in the README.
Would you be willing to ask the author to fix these issues?
I did this almost a month ago

But no response as yet. I think the common sense here is that it is
expat licensed, WDYT? It would be a shame to exclude this software as it
is quite well used in bioinformatics generally, but I'm happy to defer
to your decision.
