With no license details present in libhbaapi, and the license links referenced 
in the source code being broken,
it is difficult to distribute this package.

Fedora has derived a license of that of SNIA here: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/SNIA_Public_License

The same license has also been created for Debian at: 
http://wiki.debian.org/SAN/SNIA_Public_License


This patch adds the same license to the repository

the Original Code or ii) the combination of the Original Code with other 
software or devices.

license
+        (a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or

Contributor.
+
+3. Distribution Obligations.
+
+3.1 Application of License. The Modifications which You create or to which You 
contribute are governed by the terms of this License, including without 
limitation Section 2.2. The Source Code version of Covered Code may be 
distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version of this 
License released under Section 6.1, and You must include a copy of this License 
with every copy of the Source Code You distribute. You may not offer or impose 
any terms on any Source Code version that alters or restricts the applicable 
version of this License or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may 
include an additional document offering the additional rights described in 
Section 3.5.
+
+3.2 Availability of Source Code. Any Modification which You create or to which 
You contribute must be made available in Source Code form under the terms of 
this License either on the same media as an Executable version or via an 
accepted Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an 
Executable version available; and if made available via Electronic Distribution 
Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve (12) months after the date 
it initially became available, or at least six (6) months after a subsequent 
version of that particular Modification has been made available to such 
recipients. You are responsible for ensuring that the Source Code version 
remains available even if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is maintained 
by a third party.
+
+3.3 Description of Modifications. You must cause all Covered Code to which You 
contribute to contain a file documenting the changes You made to create that 
Covered Code and the date of any change. You must include a prominent statement 
that the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original Code 
provided by the Initial Developer and including the name of the Initial 
Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an Executable 
version or related documentation in which You describe the origin or ownership 
of the Covered Code.
+
+3.4 Intellectual Property Matters.
+        (a) Third Party Claims. If Contributor has actual knowledge that a 
license under a third party's intellectual property rights is required to 
exercise the rights granted by such Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, 
Contributor must include a text file with the Source Code distribution titled 
"LEGAL" which describes the claim and the party making the claim in sufficient 
detail that a recipient will know whom to contact. If Contributor obtains such 
knowledge after the Modification is made available as described in Section 3.2, 
Contributor shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies Contributor 
makes available thereafter.
+        (b) Contributor API's. If Contributor's Modifications include an 
application programming interface and Contributor has actual knowledge of 
patent licenses which are reasonably necessary to implement that API, 
Contributor must also include this information in the LEGAL file.
+        (c) Representations. Contributor represents that, except as disclosed 
pursuant to Section 3.4(a) above, Contributor believes that Contributor's 
Modifications are Contributor's original creation(s) and/or Contributor has 
sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License.
+
+3.5 Required Notices. You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file 
of the Source Code. If it is not possible to put such notice in a particular 
Source Code file due to its structure, then You must include such notice in a 
location (such as a relevant directory) where a user would be most likely to 
look for such a notice. If You created one or more Modification(s) You may add 
your name as a Contributor to the notice described in Exhibit A.
+You must also duplicate this License in any documentation for the Source Code 
where You describe recipients' rights or ownership rights relating to Covered 
Code. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, 
indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Code. 
However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the 
Initial Developer or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that 
any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is offered by You 
alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every 
Contributor for any liability (excluding any liability arising from 
intellectual property claims relating to the Covered Code) incurred by the 
Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, 
indemnity or liability terms You offer.
+
+3.6 Distribution of Executable Versions. You may distribute Covered Code in 
Executable form only if the requirements of Section 3.1-3.5 have been met for 
that Covered Code, and if You include a notice stating that the Source Code 
version of the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License, 
including a description of how and where You have fulfilled the obligation of 
Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously included in any notice in an 
Executable version, related documentation or collateral in which You describe 
recipients' rights relating to the Covered Code. You may distribute the 
Executable version of Covered Code or ownership rights under a license of Your 
choice, which may contain terms different from this License, provided that You 
are in compliance with the terms of this License and that the license for the 
Executable version does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient's rights in 
the Source Code version from the rights set forth in this License.
+If You distribute the Executable version under a different license You must 
make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ from this License are 
offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You 
hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any 
liability (excluding any liability arising from intellectual property claims 
relating to the Covered Code) incurred by the Initial Developer or such 
Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.
+
+3.7 Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with 
other code not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger 
Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the requirements 
of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code.
+4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation. If it is impossible for 
You to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all 
of the Covered Code due to statute, judicial order, or regulation then You 
must: (a) comply with the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; 
and (b) describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description 
must be included in the LEGAL file described in Section 3.4 and must be 
included with all distributions of the Source Code. Except to the extent 
prohibited by statute or regulation, such description must be sufficiently 
detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
+
+5. Application of this License. This License applies to code to which the 
Initial Developer has attached the notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered 
Code.
+
+6. Versions of the License.
+
+6.1 New Versions. The Storage Networking Industry Association (the "SNIA") may 
publish revised and/or new versions of the License from time to time. Each 
version will be given a distinguishing version number.
+
+6.2 Effect of New Versions. Once Covered Code has been published under a 
particular version of the License, You may always continue to use it under the 
terms of that version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the 
terms of any subsequent version of the License published by the SNIA. No one 
other than the SNIA has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered 
Code created under this License.
+
+6.3 Derivative Works. If You create or use a modified version of this License 
(which you may only do in order to apply it to code which is not already 
Covered Code governed by this License), You must (a) rename Your license so 
that the phrases "Storage Networking Industry Association," "SNIA," or any 
confusingly similar phrase do not appear in your license (except to note that 
your license differs from this License) and (b) otherwise make it clear that 
Your version of the license contains terms which differ from the SNIA Public 
License. (Filling in the name of the Initial Developer, Original Code or 
Contributor in the notice described in Exhibit A shall not of themselves be 
deemed to be modifications of this License.)
+
+7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN 
"AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, 
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF 
DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE 
ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED CODE IS WITH YOU. 
SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL 
DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, 
REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART 
OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT 
UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
+
+8. TERMINATION.
+
+8.1 This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically 
if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure such breach within a 
reasonable time after becoming aware of the breach. All sublicenses to the 
Covered Code which are properly granted shall survive any termination of this 
License. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the 
termination of this License shall survive.
+
+8.2 If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement claim 
(excluding declaratory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a 
Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You file such 
action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that:
+        (a) such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly 
infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted by such Participant to 
You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days notice 
from Participant terminate prospectively, unless if within 60 days after 
receipt of notice You either: (i) agree in writing to pay Participant a 
mutually agreeable reasonable royalty for Your past and future use of 
Modifications made by such Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim 
with respect to the Contributor Version against such Participant. If within 60 
days of notice, a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not mutually 
agreed upon in writing by the parties or the litigation claim is not withdrawn, 
the rights granted by Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 
automatically terminate at the expiration of the 60 day notice period specified 
above.
+
+8.3 If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant alleging 
that such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes 
any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by license or settlement) 
prior to the initiation of patent infringement litigation, then the reasonable 
value of the licenses granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 
shall be taken into account in determining the amount or value of any payment 
or license.
+
+8.4 In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above, all end user 
license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which have been 
validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder prior to termination shall 
survive termination.
+
+9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, 
WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE 
INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE, 
OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY 
INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER 
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, 
COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR 
LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH 
DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR 
PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE 
LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR 
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND 
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
+
+10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS. The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as 
that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial 
computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation," as such 
terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 
12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. 
Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only those rights set forth 
herein.
+
+11. MISCELLANEOUS This License represents the complete agreement concerning 
subject matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be 
unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to 
make it enforceable. This License shall be governed by California law 
provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), 
excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. The application of the United Nations 
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly 
excluded. Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a contract 
shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this License.
+
+12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS. As between Initial Developer and the 
Contributors, each party is responsible for claims and damages arising, 
directly or indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License and 
You agree to work with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such 
responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or shall be 
deemed to constitute any admission of liability.
+
+13. MULTIPLE-LICENSED CODE. Initial Developer may designate portions of the 
Covered Code as "Multiple-Licensed". "Multiple-Licensed" means that the Initial 
Developer permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under Your choice 
of this License or the alternative licenses, if any, specified by the Initial 
Developer in the file described in Exhibit A.
+
+14. ACCEPTANCE. This License is accepted by You if You retain, use, or 
distribute the Covered Code for any purpose.
