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 &quot;the remainder of the
fatback program&quot; I feel that the same course as debian would be the
most prudent action.
