Candidate

Canonical URL: https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/squeeze
Source snapshot: larsbrinkhoff-squeeze-source at 0c587d8b6632ed8b3203dc06f72e8c88783173a1
Deliverable: SQ/USQ compatible compression and decompression utilities
User-facing tags: historical-computing, CP-M, compression, archival-media
Primary language: C
Build ecosystem: legacy makesq and makeusq build scripts
SPDX disposition: NOASSERTION
License evidence: The sq/usq sources and build scripts provide no license or permission notice.

License investigation blocker

README describes Unix and CP/M builds for sq/usq, but the pinned tree has no license file, permission notice, or source-level licensing headers.

The repository is public, non-archived, and nonempty, but the above evidence does not establish a Guix-acceptable redistribution license for the complete deliverable.

Packaging outlook

Expected packaging difficulty after license: moderate.

Acceptance checks

Obtain and record an explicit, Guix-acceptable license or permission covering all shipped sources and assets.
Same-upstream coverage checked on 2026-08-15 against official GNU Guix, Nonguix, Guix Science, Guix HPC, Guix Past, Guix R Us, and RDE. No functional package referencing this exact upstream was found.
Create the package with the stated pinned source, build it, and run relevant functional checks.
