Comment 69 for bug 22007

Oh. Well, I thought it was open-source since there's no visible license,
hence, it's in the public domain - and that means freely distributable.

Here's what the xfx said to me a while ago:

"That's great!

If you have the means, please, feel free to redistribute your 64bit binary
version of the program."

So, the "means" here would be the repositories, and since we have them,
we're free to distribute the program.
