Not a legal opinion here, but one of packaging guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packages_which_are_not_useful_without_external_bits I'm not certain that this particular clause reads on exactly what you're talking about here - IIRC, it was added because someone wanted to add a downloader for some non-free content that was itself free (i.e. the downloader was free software, however the content that it downloaded was not). However, this seems like it at least somewhat applies, since you need a Red Hat subscription to do anything useful with these tools. Also, as Tom has mentioned, what specific tools are we talking about? Might they be useful if the upstream packages of this Red Hat product were to be installed? This might help in having a more productive discussion. _______________________________________________ legal mailing list legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
