 Thanks for Tom "spot" Callaway of RedHat for Fedora Legal, the FastAC
 authors have agreed to relicense their code under the BSD-2-Clause
 license, see the attachments in the Bugzilla issue:

  Bug 1674537 - LASzip contains FastAC code which does not allow
  modification
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1674537

    Contains the email thread between Tom Callaway, Amir Said &
    William (Bill) Pearlman
  * new-fastac-header.txt
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1549116)
    The updated license header for the FastAC code

 There is no new release of the FastAC code yet, once that's available
 the license issue preventing distributions from distributing LASzip
 should be resolved.

Kind Regards,
