--- Comment #3 from Petr Menšík <[email protected]> ---
I lack attempt to propose full license text to upstream. I am not even sure
what the original license for the work is.

It does not seem to be MPL-2.0 from original author.
https://www.dxatlas.com/MorseRunner/ says it is freeware. It would not be
allowed into Fedora in that case. It seems primary blocker to me.

The only thing similar to license seems at the end of the README.

https://github.com/zmetzing/MorseRunner/blob/master/Readme.txt#L303

It looks like 0BSD license [1], but without critical line stating copying and
redistribution is okay. Without such line I think this cannot be considered
open-source or free software. Adding just external MPL-2.0 licensefile to is
would be changing license of the other people and is not permitted IMO.

In fact, it seems this license is actually BSD-1-Clause like [2], which would
not be a free software.

But. Okay, I missed that in original Main.pas in oldest commit I could find.
Initial VE3NEA commit [3] already contains MPL-2.0 reference. That indeed
indicates code should be covered by MPL, even though readme has some partial
BSD like license. But especially for this reason, it should be clarified
upstream and license file included upstream too, unless it is refused.

Created issue #9 on original repository [4], it would be nice to have this
clarified by the original author.

But I would require at least pull request reference with request to add license
file into the current repository source as minimal action.
