The cppad package is maintained using COIN-OR which prefers the CPL license
      http://www.opensource.org/licenses/cpl1.0.php

Because some of CppAD users prefer GPL, both available for download from
      http://www.coin-or.org/CppAD/Doc/download.htm

The distribution files on this web page correspond to the trunk of the svn
repository and the version number changes each day; i.e., the corresponding
files are today called
      http://www.coin-or.org/CppAD/Doc/cppad-20071221.cpl.tgz
      http://www.coin-or.org/CppAD/Doc/cppad-20071221.gpl.tgz

The tarball CppAD-2.0.1.tgz is different in that is a direct copy of the
subversion repository corresponding to version 20071016 of CppAD. If one
executes the following commands
      tar -xzf CppAD-2.0.1
      cd CppAD-2.0.1
      ./build all
It will create the file
      cppad-20071016.gpl.tgz (GPL license, Unix file format)
and also create
      cppad-20071016.cpl.tgz (CPL license, Unix file format)
      cppad-20071016.cpl.zip (CPL license, Dos file format)
      cppad-20071016.gpl.zip (GPL license, Dos file format)
This process builds the documentation and hence one needs a copy of OMhelp to do
this. OMhelp is distributed with the GPL license at
      http://www.seanet.com/~bradbell/omhelp/installunix.htm
All of the *.tgz and *.zip files contain the necessary OMhelp source to rebuild
the documentation.

1. Which license would Fedora prefer to use ?

2. Does this make CppAD depend on the OMhelp package because it is used to build
the documentation from the source code files ?
