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?
If it is not a linkage dependency, it should not be.
