Hi,
I am working on fixing font packages for adding metainfo files as
asked in
http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2014/10/15/gnome-software-and-fonts/
I want to know if its okay to relicense all font package tags to add
say "and CC-BY" in license tag. This value can be any of 5 permissible
licenses as given in
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html#sec....
I just filed
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/462 ticket also.
Replied on the ticket that precedent is likely the licensing of AppData
files
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/414#comment:14
where it was determined that Fedora-generated AppData files should be the
same as the upstream project's license. The appdata validate tool was
adapted so that the way we invoked it did not trigger warnings on these
license tags.
