Ah, yes, that rings a bell now; sorry 'bout that - I'd checked the
slack-packaged dcron, which has run-parts folded-in, and not the 'source'
pieces (i.e. cf:
  http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware64-14.1/source/a/dcron/
&
  
http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/a/dcron-4.5-x86_64-4.tx{t,z{,.asc}}
 
).


Btw, the script has changed _slightly_ over the years: looks like most
recent change was '07-Sep-2012'; so I'd probly use that one:
--
* http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware64-14.1/source/a/dcron/
* or http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware64-current/source/a/dcron/
--


Partly re lic/&c, man-page has:
--
"AUTHOR
       Patrick J. Volkerding <[email protected]>, with ideas borrowed
       from the Red Hat and Debian versions of this utility."
--



rgds,
