According to the rules that I found in the documentation [7] I'm asking you for approval of this exception.
Could anyone have a look at it please? I'm kind of blocked with uploading the software to the Fedora servers if I don't get any feedback.
Any response is appreciated.
IMO this exception is okay for Fedora.
Incidentally this exception seems to be identical to what SPDX calls LGPL-3.0-linking-exception (https://spdx.org/licenses/LGPL-3.0-linking-exception.html).
That is correct. The SPDX license expression would be either: LGPL-3.0-or-later WITH LGPL-3.0-linking-exception or LGPL-3.0-only WITH LGPL-3.0-linking-exception
Unfortunately, the project doesn't seem to specify if it's LGPL-3.0 "only" or "or later" (a difference that is not distinct at this point in time, but bad practice to not specify in any case). I have filed an issue in hopes they can fix that: https://github.com/canonical/raft/issues/252
Fixed! it's LGPL-3.0-only WITH LGPL-3.0-linking-exception see LGPL-3.0-only WITH LGPL-3.0-linking-exception
