Dear Mario,

First of all, thanks for the quick review.

Well, I must thank the last mentor who guided me through a library
process (Neil "codehelp" Williams). So, this was pretty all right.

OK, so here's the deal. The author gives you the option of choosing
from among GPL 2+, LGPL 2.1 or the Apache license. And, I *have*
checked every file. For example, see this:

find |egrep "\.(h|c)$"|xargs grep "(GPL)"

Compare that to find|egrep "\.(h|c)$". That shows that example.c
(which is an example) and flickcurl_getopt.h may not be GPL'd. So, I
have mentioned flickcurl_getopt.h as being public domain, and all
other files as GPL.

And since the COPYING file is included, I am going ahead with the
assumption that it is GPL'd. Besides, it'd be a pity if a 50 line C
example program is discarded!

Done.

I think I've done it right now.

Thanks!

Well, thanks a lot! I have registered the package on
Sponsors.d.net. Please check it out, and many thanks for the review
and upload offer! :-)
