Subject: [ewg] Licensing issue with current rds-tools tarballs

This came up during package review for Fedora.  I have already brought it up with Venkat at Oracle.  The issue is that the licensing of this package is incomplete (the file COPYING that is referenced in several source files is not present in the tarball) and in one place outdated (in examples/rds-example.c, the address for the FSF is incorrect).  Just an FYI for any companies whose legal teams are as strict as ours about not redistributing code without a proper, legal license.  I hope an
rds-tools-2.0.8 should be rolled soon to resolve the issue.
