So, should > I modify the License tag or should the wiki page be updated ? No, you just don't need to specify the version. We only specify the version in the license tag when there is a significant change in compatibility or there are versions of a license which are non-free. In the case of CC-BY-SA, all versions of that license are considered the same, and all are free. Just use: License: CC-BY-SA for all instances of the CC-BY-SA, regardless of versioning. > b.

Commercial use restrictions make a license non-free, which is why they are not acceptable in Fedora. ~spot _______________________________________________ Fedora-legal-list mailing list Fedora-legal-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legal-list
