I just ran rpmlint over a package under the OFL-1.1-RFN license, with
the rpmlint-fedora-license-data package installed. I got "W:
invalid-license OFL-1.1-RFN". I undertook a search on the allowed [1]
and not allowed [2] license pages. Only "OFL-1.1" appears anywhere,
under the "All licenses" section of [1]. (And, faithfully reproducing
this, "OFL-1.1" is the only OFL* license that appears in the
rpmlint-fedora-license-data package.)
The underlying license data [3] from which [1] and [2] are generated
lists all of OFL-1.0, OFL-1.0-RFN, OFL-1.0-no-RFN, OFL-1.1,
OFL-1.1-RFN, and OFL-1.1-no-RFN. Why aren't the other licenses
showing up on [1] and in rpmlint-fedora-license-data? Is it because
"OFL-1.1" is the only one of the six that has a "Y" in both the
"OSI?"
and "FSFLibre?" columns of licenses.md? If so, what does that imply
about the status of the other 5 licenses for Fedora?
