I'm concerned about the prospect of submitting requests for approval to

Technically, I believe we have our ducks in a row, but the "legal stuff" is
where a nebulous cloud currently hangs.
Rex offered to help us out, so I'm going to speak with him. I know that we
need to have our licenses updated to (L)GPL, be package-able through Koji,
have all the necessary mailing lists, groups, ACLs, remove
branded-proprietary code (we came from Netscape/AOL and have government
contracts), adopt the Fedora development process, and likely exclude signing
from our releng process (until there's a RH-sponsored non-ncipher possibility
in the near future). What I'm wondering is -- what else is there?
Rex will definitely be able to help you along -- but really, I don't think
there is much else. So long as the code is under an approved license, the
RPMs are packaged according to the guidelines, and your team sticks around
to maintain the packages, there really *shouldn't* be much else. Any
legal issues remaining are likely to be inside the RH fenceline, not in
Fedora-land.
