(Migrated from github.com)

Candidate

Canonical URL: https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/unmsa
Source snapshot: larsbrinkhoff-unmsa-source at a3d24f4b63af2547c4ce7725356a4243e0ef3d01
Deliverable: MSA floppy-image conversion utility
User-facing tags: historical-computing, Atari-ST, floppy-disk, disk-image
Primary language: C
Build ecosystem: Makefile
SPDX disposition: NOASSERTION
License evidence: The nonempty C utility and Makefile contain no copyright, license, or permission declaration.

License investigation blocker

The pinned tree is nonempty (Makefile and unmsa.c) but has no license/notice file or copyright/license declaration in its source.

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: easy.

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.
