If elilo-installer is derived from lilo-installer which is under
GPLv2, this means elilo-installer must be under GPLv2 as per the
copyleft requirement of the GPL. IANAL but that's my understanding.
BTW, I'm inquiring for gNewSense GNU/Linux. For now, it seems
reasonable for me to mark elilo-installer free until a copyright
notice is added to the package.
