Hey, all. So, I'm looking at packaging tt-rss - an RSS reader implemented as a PHP webapp - for Fedora, since I run it on my own server. It became rapidly clear that it's a landmine of bundled PHP libraries and snippets and uncertain licensing. I'm unsure which of the things it bundles would be lik
