Linrad

Hi,

The other day I happened to find Linrad on a wish list here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/AmateurRadio/Packages

After consulting a specialist in copyright I have changed
the policy and put Linrad under the MIT license.
(Previously 'free for anyone for any purpose')
I was told that I could change my mind and declare I want 
money with the old unlicensed statement. Now, with MIT
I can not withdraw a license that I have granted and MIT
gives anyone the right to do anything:-)

Linrad is easily installed under Fedora, but I am afraid
jack and portaudio have to be installed from source
since those packages are too old. Linrad uses libsoft66
librtlsdr and libperseus-sdr which are all GNU and those 
would also have to be included.

I have no idea how to generate packages and I do not know
how serious the interest in Linrad might be among Fedora 
users.
