Hi everyone! I want to bring `zmusic` into Fedora, but there is some issues with licensing. ZMusic uses DUMB library, which has unusual DUMB-0.9.3 license[0], but it is basically zlib license with extra clauses which can restrict it to count as free and accepted license.
Fedora already has `dumb ` package, it patches[1] license to make it equivalent to zlib, with permission from original authors[2]. It was 18 years ago. I cannot use this package, because DUMB library, which is bundled with ZMusic, is heavily modified[3]. Is it OK to do the same, or do i need to ask permission from authors again?
