Hello:

Now I am considering to package FDClone [1]. However FDClone
uses very unique license. Note that FDClone developer says that the official
license is the one written in Japanese [2] and  the link [3] is only
the translation into English.

>From my viewpoint, the author (licensor) seems to be just saying that 
the author won't take any responsibility for the package if 
a distributor don't make any "registration", although the license text is
not short.

I will appreciate it if it is investigated if this license can be accepted
on Fedora or not.
