Hi Fedora legal and packaging,
I'm cross-posting this, as I think it's relevant to both groups.
The current policy for filling out the license field of the spec
file (as described at
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/LicensingGuidelines/
) states, "The License: field refers to the licenses of the
contents of the binary rpm. When in doubt, ask."
As we consider how to improve documentation related to Fedora
licensing, it would be helpful to hear people's thoughts on the
following:
1) how do you (package maintainers) interpret this policy in
practice?
2) what further information/documentation about this policy would
be helpful?
3) should this policy be different, and if so, how?
4) any other related thoughts or observations
Thanks!
Jilayne
