Hi, I've been trying to bundle pyscard for Fedora (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=663102 ) however, during the package review some licence issues were uncovered.

Basically:
smartcard/ClassLoader.py
smartcard/Observer.py
smartcard/Synchronization.py
smartcard/scard/pyscard-reader.h

Don't seem to be covered under the same licence - have you had any correspondence with the original authors about them?
Many thanks for any input you can provide -- see the bugzilla ticket (comment #9) for more info.

    summary: ClassLoader is under the PSF license

    Observer.py and Syncronoization.py is from Thinking in Python, Bruce Eckel http://mindview.net/Books/TIPython (partly crediting Peter Norvig) . The license is unclear, and arguably pyscard do not have any license to ship it. Has any attempt been made at contacting Bruce?

    proper authorization has been asked to Bruce Eckel of Mindview on Oct. 20, 2011 and obtained on Nov. 2, 2011.
