As part of our packaging process, we try to identify the license the package is released under, and keep track of a hash of the license information. Most commonly we use the COPYING file included with the sources.

Scott,
I would be willing to restart managing the source code for this package, but I don't even have the account password at RedHat/SourceWare.org anymore, and I haven't been able to contact any admin there.
I know that sounds pretty stupid.
