Isn' tthere a free implementation of sl that would be suitable for
fedora? I know that it was in debian and it is in gentoo.

The packaged version uses the same upstream as the debian package. The
deb copyrights file states "Everyone is permitted to do anything on this
program including copying, modifying, and improving, unless you try to
pretend that you wrote it. i.e., the above copyright notice has to
appear in all copies. THE AUTHOR DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY WITH
REGARD TO THIS SOFTWARE." however, I was unable to find a similar
statement in the upstream source or associated website. Although from
the context it is clear that it is distributable without a clear
statement of the licence under which the program is distributed and
after consultation with dribble lead Ian, we decided the package was
more suited to dribble than to fedora.
That being said, I am happy to discuss it. :)
