Specifically approved license for Copr: Netperf

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear legal team,

I recently had to remove some nontrivial work on Netperf package, done by
several users of Fedora Copr build system - because any material uploaded to
Copr must comply with Fedora licensing guidelines nowadays.

I'm curious whether we could have a list of licenses specifically approved for
Fedora Copr, on top of fedora licensing guidelines, such as is sketched in [2].

Speaking about the concrete license [1], GitHub is allowed to distribute the
sources without issues, and if user wants to package this against Fedora -
there's currently no option.

Note though that I don't advocate the restrictive license in any way, it
is bad license in my opinion.  Though at the same time it is pity that
copr can not be an answer to this problem (builds of non-commercial only
software), and so I'd like to have it explicitly discussed.
