I'm not sure I entirely agree with that, to be honest. I think the case where a Fedora Contributor packages up an explicitly licensed piece of code falls within this case. I do agree that it doesn't grant any sort of licensing permission on an unlicensed work, but it does advise how such a work could be brought under the FPCA. ~tom == Fedora Project _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
