Hi,
Unfortunately we have decided this license does not meet Fedora's minimum standards for a free software/open source license.
The license may continue to be tolerated for software that is currently packaged in Fedora, but would not be allowed for future packages.
My recommendation would be to try to get the upstream developers to switch to an OSI-approved permissive license like the MIT license.

So it's ok for OpenvSwitch I guess because it's a key technology nowadays, but not for this. [shrugs]
Thanks anyway for your consideration. Iñaki

You have probably already seen this but it looks like upstream has switched to 3-clause BSD (SPDX: BSD-3-Clause): https://github.com/mininet/mininet/blob/master/LICENSE

Yes, thanks, the maintainer told me, and the package is already part of Fedora.
