This package is currently labelled as-is which doesn't look right. There is no license included with the package. http://humorix.org/downloads/#Fortunes boldly states: The cookies come from public domain sources (i.e. files that have circulated throughout the Net), Slashdot posts, and, of course, the Humorix site. But neither "files that have circulated throughout the net" nor "Slashdot posts" are necessarily in the public domain. Not sure what to do here. Maybe "freedist" for humorix-stories (which seems to be the stuff from the Humorix site) and "fairuse" for humorix-misc?
Fixed.
Looking at my assessment from seven years ago again, it is doubtful at best, therefore reopening. Any objections to last rites?
Do it.
