This adds libbsd [0] and a port [1] of OpenBSD's signify tool. [2]
I couldn't figure out where to put libbsd so I made a new module, but
I'm open to advice.
There is one more thing to be resolved: What should I do about the
unusual license from IBM [3] on base64.c? [4]
I searched the net, and all the references I found to this license are
other instances of this base64 C implementation. It doesn't seem to have
been used elsewhere. Advice?

Now there's a license name bound to cause some confusion!
It looks free... I think it would be okay to push. But maybe if only
one or two packages use it it would be better to just use the
non-copyleft license option?

I went and doublechecked the license, because I've heard in the past it's not
actually a copyleft license. According to wikipedia[0], it is not copyleft,
but is GPL compatable, and recognized by the FSF. The language of the license
does allow for not buying the author a beer.

It's not a copyleft license, right. That's why I suggested non-copyleft
:)
For example, in unzip:
(license (license:non-copyleft "file://LICENSE"
"See LICENSE in the distribution."))

I'll do whatever the consensus says.
But what about the IBM license on the base64 component of signify? What
should I do about that?

Okay, and again, I don't have strong opinions, just a suggestion.

I don't know, could you point to what the code is and the license?

For your reference, Debian maintainer calls this "IBM license". [0] I
would call it a non-copyleft license with patent grant.

I think the question is if it's used by anything other than this
particular software, to answer whether (non-copyleft) should be used or
to make a new license entry. If you know of it being used somewhere
else, I'd put it as its own license entry, otherwise just use
(non-copyleft) I think.
I'm guessing it's probably not used anywhere else, since the patent
grant is pretty specific to the domain of DNS?
Thanks Leo!

I agree, I think it makes sense to use ‘non-copyleft’ for these two
licenses.

I lost track of the discussion, but it’d be sad if simple packages like
this were stuck in review forever. :-)
In general, for simple additions like this, consider yourself entitled
to push after some time has passed, as noted in ‘HACKING’.

Please mention in a comment above what this license list means: is it at
the user’s choice, a mixture of all, etc. Note that ‘bsd-style’ is a
procedure, and is deprecated (‘guix lint’ should warn.)
Otherwise LGTM, thanks!

Please comment on the meaning of this list. As discussed with Alex
Vong, ‘non-copyleft’ would probably capture “the IBM license” well
enough.
Otherwise OK, thanks! :-)

I decided to spend a little time auditing the differences between this
source code and what is in OpenBSD, but I hadn't had the time to do it
yet.
It won't be a *real* security audit; I'm not qualified to do that. But I
think I should at least read the differences and see what they are.
