Hi,
I would need to put two evil packages for digilent's analog discovery board on Copr. This package would contain digilent adept runtime (http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,66,828&Prod=ADE...) and digilent waveform SDK (http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,66,849&Prod=WAV...) in both case I got an explicit authorization to package it as long as I don't use it for anything else than digilent products (an other ugly point). The thing is that in my lab we write gpl apps which rely on this api and I would like to share this apps on copr. An other point, reverse engineering this crap would be really long since there is an FPGA inside and as usual no source code for it...
So is it allowed in such case to build a closed source package since it doesn't really fit the Firmware exception(some files are libs).
I would guess no: https://fedorahosted.org/copr/wiki/UserDocs#WhatIcanbuildinCopr
You agree not to use Coprs to upload software code or other material ("Material") that: ... * is governed in whole or in part by a license not contained in the list of acceptable licenses for Fedora, currently located at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing, as that list may be revised from time to time by the Fedora Project Board;
Assuming the "evil" license in question here is not on the acceptable list above.

Thanks, it was also what I understood, I just asked in case of exception but I prefer like this.
