Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-12-06 19:57:15 UTC
Copyright.caching-nameserver in the rpm archive says:

    The files included in this package are obtained from
    ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/, where they are made 
    available for free to anybody. In other words, this package 
    is created under a Public Domain license.

While this statement might be somewhat dubious, the package compiles and installs only a single file, keygen.c, which is probably to short to be copyrightable.
