Hi
Thanks to everyone, especially Richard, for their advice and
suggestions.
As far as I can tell, these are the remaining licensing questions before
we are ready to include .NET 7 in Fedora:
1. How to define the MS Patent Promise [1] in Fedora?
The discussion is continuing at
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/103 but
there hasn't been much movement recently.
2. What to do about code that uses from StackOverflow?
It seems like someone just needs to craft the wording for an exception
and add it to the CC licenses in Fedora? More at
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/104
Is there anyone who can help craft this wording?
3. What to do about the following licenses:
https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/src/libraries/System.Text.Reg...
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:MIT?rd=Licensing/MIT#HP_Variant
Both seem look like variants of MIT [2][3]. As folks in this thread
have helped me understand, MIT is a category under SPDX, not a single
license. Neither of these are part of the MIT SPDX identifier yet. Is
it okay to use them under the 'MIT' identifier in Fedora while they
are still being worked on the SPDX and fedora-license-data side?
