Hi Todd, thanks for you quick and helpful response. Yes, CC-BY 4.0 should be OK.
Meanwhile we digged a bit more into FISH and discussed some issues. You might be interested in https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2014/02/msg00178.html May be the code is relying on some 32bit / old gcc features and does not work any more as reliable as it should ... Kind regards Andreas.
