cool ;) - pam_kcoda was one of my first FLOSS projects while student;
Ivan Popov took over maintaining the software in 2001 and added Kerberos
support - I have not heard from him since years now.

I'm the original author, but no license expert ;)

Feel free to release pam_kcoda under GPL v2 or 3.., MIT or BSD license
whatever suits you best.
I wrote the original code in GPL v1 as was Coda (and PAM?) in 1999 -
IIRC Ivan asked to release it under BSD conditions and probably then the
license mess started..

I have no idea how this ended up on
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/pre/modules/ and don't have
write permissions there [yet].

If necessary I con roll a new release mid next week (I'll be traveling
and am only sporadically online during the next days) . Do you know any
PAM devs?

cheers,
robin

So, if we change the spec License tag to be GPLv2+, will that be sufficient
until a new version is released from Robin with a proper license file?
