Hi Gang, I'm planning to package Norm Walsh's (aka Mr. DocBook) java catalog classes he wrote while working at Arbortext. The license simply says it's public domain (see below).
Don't we need something that explicitly says we can redistribute this software? At least that's how I interpreted this section http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch2.html#s2.1.6 in the Policy Manual. I plan contact Arbortext to see what can be done, but I'll wait to hear the scoop from the experts. The full documentation (a README) is here: http://www.dulug.duke.edu/~mark/catalog-classes.html Which only contains the license snippet below.
