This license would need to be clarified before the package could be uploaded. It may be that the author means for the software to be in the public domain; however, placing something in the public domain requires an explicit assignment saying exactly that. Saying the software is "uncopyrighted" doesn't help us because that term is not legally meaningful. Cheers, Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
