Did you look at COPYING?
As a header above the GPLv2 license:
********************************************
* NOTICE:
* The following license applies only to the
* files getopt.c, getopt.h, and getopt1.c.
* these are borrowed from glibc.
* This licence does not in any way apply
* to the remainder of the fatback program
*********************************************
Because of the dubious/uncertain license for "the remainder of the
fatback program" I feel that the same course as debian would be the
most prudent action.
