Sorry. :) The items in rpmfusion-free are under "Free Software Licenses", but they have other legal issues which prevent them from being included in Fedora proper. This could be any number of things, and unfortunately, I cannot list them out. > * If my script collection includes code-routines that build a program of > a source code that is available to everyone, is that permitted, or > depends on the software going to be built? (specific: Oracle VirtualBox) The rule of thumb is that software packaged in Fedora must be useful with only the other packages in the Fedora repository. So, if you had a script that say, automated some task using Oracle VirtualBox (or downloaded and built VirtualBox from source), that script would not be appropriate to package for Fedora. > * If my script collection checks the system for Third Party repos that > contain non-FOSS software and if available install packages they contain > as/if the user chooses so.

No, those are considered "Third Party Repos". I hope these answers help clarify things. ~tom == Fedora Project _______________________________________________ legal mailing list legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
