I'm not actually arguing your points. I'm merely supplying additional
info. HTH. This is Debian stable/Sarge:
(0) heretic /home/keeling_ cd /usr/share/doc/at
(0) heretic /usr/share/doc/at_ less copyright
--------------------------------------
This package was debianized by its author Thomas Koenig
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, taken over and re-packaged first by Martin
Schulze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and then by Siggy Brentrup <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
and then taken over by Ryan Murray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
This may be considered the experimental upstream source, and since there
doesn't seem to be any other upstream source, the only upstream source.

So, it's Gnu.
