Of course it is. All the software we release is licensed under the GPL, and
you can't get more open than that. :-)

If you're interested in how we build RPMs, please take a look at the source
we provide. (That's why it's there.) You'll probably be most interested in
the following subtree:

abi/src/pkg/linux/

You can also do this online:

http://www.abisource.com/lxr/source/abi/src/pkg/linux/

Once you've read those sources, please send any further questions, comments,
or patches to the developer list:

abiword-dev@abisource.com
