Not really, no. The default license for spec files in Fedora is MIT. That means that if the package maintainer didn't chose any license explicitly, then the spec file is MIT. Some package maintainers do choose to use another licence for their spec files, for example "php-smbclient" is under the CC-By-SA-4.0 license: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/php-smbclient.git/tree/php-smbclient .spec Make sure you check every spec file you use if they have an explicit license (this should usually be obvious, as a comment in the very first lines of the spec file), and if you can't find anything, then you can assume the spec file is MIT. -- Mathieu _______________________________________________ legal mailing list legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
