Good question: CUPS is licensed as GPLv2, which is listed on the Fedora
licensing page as not compatible with AGPLv3+.
The cups package has a requirement on ghostscript-cups, a sub-package of
ghostscript. This sub-package provides the CUPS filter for converting
PostScript or PDF to CUPS Raster format. CUPS filters are separate
executables which follow a particular interface (see the filter(7) man
page) regarding stdin, stdout, and stderr.
Not being a linkage dependency, I wasn't expecting that to be affected
by the Ghostscript license change to Affero GPL. But perhaps it would
be?
