There was an OpenCOBOL in Fedora through their 23 release ...
so until about five years ago.  The package no longer builds
due to the removal of 'db4 support' -- Red Hat / Fedora had
lots of words about license changes which I did not see were
true, but * shrug *   Their circus, their monkeys

There is a fairly mechanical writeup in pushing an OpenCOBOL 1.
forward into the 2. product at [1].  Once I get a build solved
under ClefOS 8 [in process], I'll see about getting it in
there as well as in back into ClefOS 7
