Control: severity -1 minor As you might know from:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=886838 since it uses same style, it's purely documentation issue as the mersene twister was also released under BSD license, for more reference also see here: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/scm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20130506/1016593.html Thus lowering the severity to minor. You could also find this statement from upstream authors: http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/MT2002/elicense.html Anything would be better than filling serious bug with proposal such as "Remove Debian archive.".
