Apparently people somehow failed to come to a conclusion which
version of ZOO to package under which license in January 2024.

Zoo is in the public domain, with no strings attached. Years ago someone from Debain had sent an e-mail to Rahul Dhesi, the author of zoo, asking to relax the licensing terms a bit so it could be moved to main from non-free, and the answer was that zoo was put in the public domain. I'm unable to find that thread now, but you may want to take a look at
<https://tracker.debian.org/news/244279/accepted-zoo-210-11-i386-source/>.

Heh, after some time, I found a copy of the exchange: <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/zoo/+copyright>.

Yet, for me, that does NOT sound like a reason to drop the whole
package from our collection. Even if "nobody" uses ZOO :-p I mean
barely anybody uses RUNTIME, either. But it is nice to have :-)

+1. Its generations feature is nice :)
