This is about the tonto review request, bz 1197471. In short, here is three files from the Acme website. I request a copy-lib exception. If granted an exception, I suggest that acme is treated as ccan with three virtual provides on the form "Provides: bundled(acme-!GifEncoder)" etc.

The three files, each independent of the other ones, are:
- Acme/!IntHashtable.java
- !Acme/Acme/JPM/Encoders/GifEncoder.java
- !Acme/Acme/JPM/Encoders/ImageEncoder.java

It is technically possible to package the acme site. However, to package a site with old unmaintained code snippets is in my eyes to defy the site's purpose.

The standard questions:
- Has the library behaviour been modified? No, the files are used more or less verbatim.
- Could we make the forked version the canonical version within Fedora? This question makes IMHO no sense here.
- Are the changes useful to consumers other than the bundling application? This code is not useful in any modern context, it's just too old.
- Is upstream keeping the base library updated? No, upstream is very dead.
- What is the attitude of upstream towards bundling? The site is designed to provide snippets which you can browse and download separately i. e., it's designed to support bundling.
- security ramifications of bundling? This is code to handle graphics formats and a generic container in an ordinary user application, I see no particular concerns, especially as long as it's bundled with this application.
- Does the maintainer of the Fedora package of the library being bundled object? There is no such maintainer.
- Is there a plan for unbundling the library? No.
