It looks like I missed putting this in the cover leter
0013-perl-time-parsedate-add-license.patch has



-PERL_TIME_PARSEDATE_LICENSE = unknown
+# https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/TPDL
+PERL_TIME_PARSEDATE_LICENSE = Public Domain

THe URL has:

This is a very short permissive license found in the perl module
Time::ParseDate. The request to "feed useful changes back" is interpreted
as a polite request, not a requirement. It is Free and GPL compatible.

Copyright (C) 1996-2010 David Muir Sharnoff. Copyright (C) 2011 Google, Inc.
License hereby granted for anyone to use, modify or redistribute this module
at their own risk. Please feed useful changes back to cpan at dave.sharnoff.org
.



If you want to change it locally to what you think is best before commiting
and ignore 0013 , I'm good with that.

To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
