Why should this be included in the repository?

Plank will not be compatible with Wayland Budgie and Budgie will need a dock ahead of Wayland. Many of your Solus Budgie users including me are hesitant to install kde-based docks on their Budgie DE...that is if kde docks will be the only dock options going forward. Cairo is a non-KDE dock compatible with Wayland. Seems sensible to have that

Are we allowed to redistribute it?

What kind of user will use this package, and how many users do you think will use this package?

The kind of user that will use this package are likely Budgie users that want a Budgie-integrated, non-kde, non-flatpak dock option when Budgie-Wayland arrives, as Plank will be unusable. Thanks for any consideration.

Research direction

Start by reviewing cairo-dock-core-3.6.1.tar.gz.asc and the package repository's package-addition process. Confirm the source, GPLv3 redistribution, and stated Budgie/Wayland use case; done means the package request has a clear resolution or a documented blocker.
