Wow. Okay, a few things:

* The current nc in Fedora is nc-1.84-21
* The nc code in this is 1.10. It is ancient. I would strongly recommend that
you try to get this extension supported in the netcat upstream, otherwise, you
will constantly be playing a catchup game with keeping this code working
against the latest netcat code.

* Netcat is licensed under the GPL, all versions (GPL+)
* farm9crypt.cpp has no licensing information
* twofish2.cc is under the "Cryptix General License", which is BSD, even though
the license text is not present in this package (which should be fixed).

In order to have this live in Fedora, you need to update the netcat code to the
current revision, have upstream clarify the licensing on farm9crypt*, and
include a copy of the Cryptix General License (just to be sure it is in fact,
BSD).

Blocking FE-Legal.
