Copyright wouldn't be any hurdle, but I think it's a bit early to 
add this to ELPA.  Although the source has been nominally public 
for a long time, the package has only been used internally at our 
company, as we hadn't announced it anywhere before yesterday.  I'd 
like to get any obvious bugs shaken out first -- such as the 
problem Colin Baxter found in the installation instructions. 
That's fixed now; the "Installation" block now says (as of commit 
4d5a4f4be74ecc) to use this command:

 $ git clone https://code.librehq.com/ots/ots-tools.git
