Uhhhm.
memcached-init is from:
commit 4b1b1ae76ef6e78dd3f1d753931ac8051ae99e9a
Author: Brad Fitzpatrick <b...@danga.com>
Date: Tue Dec 30 19:56:33 2003 +0000
I assume brad copied the skeleton files and modified it. IANAL so I'm not
sure how much of it had to be changed to be able to flip the license, but
it seems like a trivial script.
The sysv one is from:
commit 275f8c40705526ac4514d5dcff2cbf0311b540ac
Author: Paul Lindner <plind...@hi5.com>
Date: Fri May 4 11:23:02 2007 +0000
add rpm spec file, new sysv init script
So uh. Paul? Care to comment?
and finally, may I ask why you're finding this issue? Do you work for a
distro or are just curious? Or you're trying to package it up and sell it?
:P
