Its license is incompatible with GPL:

"3. You must send  me colorer registration form (freely) if you using
colorer in any form.

4. You cannot derive new versions of ``colorer library''. You may produce
your own software, based on colorer work, but you can't use colorer name
to distribute it."

I cannot imagine RedHat or Debian distributing colorer, either under its
name or as a derived product under a different name and the same license.
