Samba4 (which is under review for inclusion into Fedora) will soon ship some data (the Active Directory schema) under less-than-usual licence terms. The attached file gives the text. I believe it is no less free than Free licences on Fonts that require redistribution with software. The review ticket is: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453083 If this causes a problem, presumably the packager can strip setup/ad-schema (and the whole server implementation) from the tarball.

NOTE: The licence on these schema files is not GPL, or a standard Open Source licence. Be careful to redistribute thes files as part of Samba or 'your implementation', but not alone. -- Intellectual Property Rights Notice for Protocol Documentation Copyrights.
