It is ok for Fedora, although, I usually only see it with the GPL as opposed to the LGPL, since the LGPL has additional relinking requirements that aren't directly superceded by this exception. Use: # GNU Classpath style exception, see LICENSE License: LGPLv2+ with exceptions (with the correct LGPL base versioning and correct file to LICENSE text, of course). ~spot _______________________________________________ Fedora-legal-list mailing list Fedora-legal-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legal-list
