Which licenses info are you refering to? Nothing from cmake should be
distributed in a package. It is also not used yet to build releases
ready packages but only to run the tests suite.

Please refer to Sean's mails. There is _already_ one repository. and
we use it as base for our work. As far as I remember it is part of
php-gd.

I have been busy at work in the last weeks and sadly did not commit
something yet. But we cleared all the process already. The idea is to
let me fix issues directly in this repository and then Sean will merge
them when necessary/required, after we agreed on which fixes should go
in a stable/dev/whatever tree.
