And Leigh raised Legal Issue on this Copr. So I have question: * why providing a tool is/can be infringement. In past Fesco claimed that a tool itself is fine (e.g. hydra) https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/hydra And in fact we have very similar tool in Fedora already: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/autodownloader * If this is not enough for Fedora, is it good for Copr? Or not? -- Miroslav Suchy, RHCA Red Hat, Senior Software Engineer, #brno, #devexp, #fedora-buildsys _______________________________________________ legal mailing list legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
