License of libevent's ax_prog_doxygen.m4
by Ondřej Lysoněk
Hi,
a new version of libevent bundles a file ax_prog_doxygen.m4 [1]. The
license text says the following:
# Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, are
# permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright notice
# and this notice are preserved.
Not being a native speaker, I'm not sure how exactly to interpret that
sentence, but it sounds to me like there could be a restriction on
commercial use.
(What got me additionally confused is that the file is hosted on gnu.org.)
Is this a Free software license or not?
Thank you very much.

Hello.
I want to add rtklib in repos and I need to Know about allowing it's
license in Fedora.
It is BSD-2-Clause but with addition clause:
- The software package includes some companion executive binaries or shared
libraries necessary to execute APs on Windows. These licenses succeed to the
original ones of these software.

Please give your advice in bug 1801519
by Robert-André Mauchin
Hello,
Could you please take a look at bug 1801519?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1801519
The package is golang-github-google-licenseclassifier. It contains the text of
a large number of licenses to detect them. Some of these Licenses are good for
Fedora, other not. Basically am I allowed to distribute the text of these
licenses along my package? What it the license status of the text of the
licenses? Is each license covered by itself?
Best regards,
Robert-André
