re these .jar files - the python3-based-buildsystem
of
https://github.com/validator/validatormight be building them or similar ones.

slidy is
likely
https://www.w3.org/wiki/Slidy_Help ; I have a fork of it where I disclaimed copyrights for my changes in my homesite's sources.

There is no IGLU Cabal! Home‐made Cabals eventually superseded the power and
influence of the original IGLU Cabal, which was considered a cutting edge
development at its time.

Subject: Licensing and packaging clarification needed for DocBook5
Hi,
During a conversion of licenses in Fedora repositories to SPDX licenses, we have encountered several issues regarding the licensing and packaging a few of the files present in the docbook5-style-xsl and docbook5-schemas packages. [1]
- What is the license for the Perl script "db4-entities.pl" ("docbook-5.0/tools/db4-entities.pl")?
- We are unsure under which license is the "howto" documentation ("DocBook V5.0: The Transition Guide") distributed. What is the license for these files?
- We found several JAR files. Can you explain their purpose in the repository? If they are required for some DocBook extensions, please assist us in compiling them, as we cannot package ".jar" files in Fedora, because guidelines prevent us from packaging binaries.
- extensions/lucene-analyzers-3.0.0.jar
- extensions/xalan27.jar
- extensions/saxon65.jar
- extensions/lucene-core-3.0.0.jar
- extensions/tagsoup-1.2.1.jar

We need all the aforementioned points clarified to ensure that the DocBook is packaged in new Fedora versions correctly. There are some licenses that are not allowed in Fedora, and also we can not ship binaries in case of the .jar files.
Also, I found this email repository-admin@oasis-open.org that might be more suited for this question, but I was not sure, so forum post might be better first step. If it would be possible to clarify whether I should ask this question by messaging that e-mail address, it would really help.
