Hi all, I'm trying to package lprint https://github.com/michaelrsweet/lprint which has Apache Software License 2.0 with exceptions for GPLv2 and LGPLv2. CUPS has a similar license and it was marked as fine for Fedora in this thread [1] . Unfortunately, there isn't a valid short name for 'ASL 2.0 with exceptions' at [2] - would it be possible to add the short name into the table or should I just use simple 'ASL 2.0'? Thank you in advance and have a nice day, Zdenek [1] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/TYGLR34XR6L6MAXMVSDNYT3ZYXUKY7FX/#NEQDL6V4RBRQTPI3YYBSZH5CTZG257F2 [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Good_Licenses
The interesting thing to me here is that LLVM carries this license and
exception. It uses the Apache 2.0 license with a GPLv2 exception. But the
llvm package in Fedora says 'NCSA' for the License tag.
I think the llvm package might be wrong in Fedora.
Going with SPDX syntax, the way they define Apache 2.0 with the GPLv2
exception (as given as an example in llvm) is:
Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception
https://spdx.org/licenses/LLVM-exception.html
To fit the Fedora naming syntax, we probably need "ASL 2.0 with exceptions"
added to the list of approved licenses.
