Dear All, I am forwarding this to the ARM list, as this might be of interest to some of you working on Raspberry PI support. Regards, Tristan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Fedora-legal-list] Update to Binary Firmware Exceptions Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:56:24 -0400 From: Tom Callaway <tcallawa@xxxxxxxxxx> To: legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Two minor exceptions have been added to the Licensing Guidelines: A new exception has been added to permit prebuilt binary QEMU ROMs implementing BIOS or Firmware for QEMU system targets to be packaged in those situations where it is not practical or possible to build them from source, as long as the corresponding source code is also included in the Source RPM package. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:SoftwareTypes#QEMU_ROMs The wording of the Binary Firmware exception has been amended slightly to permit the packaging and inclusion of firmware files which are necessary to boot Fedora on some devices (e.g. raspberrypi), as long as the standard exception criteria are met. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:SoftwareTypes#Binary_Firmware Thanks, ~tom == Fedora Project _______________________________________________ legal mailing list legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
