Hi,
I'd like to package Ume-fonts[*]. Unfortunately, I cannot find
appropriate license name in good licenses list on the wiki. I thought it
is simple "as-is" but I cannot see such record - are my eyes just tired
or is it really missing?
‘As is’ is about liability, not rights, so it does not affect
whether the licence is free / libre (thus OK for Fedora) or not.
ok; somehow I thought the "as-is" designation is used for public
domain-like stuff where it isn't in public domain by the law but the author
wishes it to be like public domain ... my bad
I am not familiar with Fedora packaging policy, but if we need
to procrusteanate every unique permissive licence to one of the
‘Good licenses’ [0] for reference purpose, then ‘CopyrightOnly’
[1] seems to fit best, but not ideally.
[0] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Good_Licenses
[1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:CopyrightOnly
in this case, it doesn't even request the copyright notice ... but if this
one is usable as an approximation, I'd happily go with that as we're going
to refer to the author/source anyways
K.
