In that case, it should be acceptable under the "content licenses may restrict modification" exception: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Good_Licenses_3 CC BY-ND is acceptable under that same policy. The only restriction imposed by the notice in the files the prohibition against modifcation: > Recipients of this document may copy, distribute, publish, or display this document so long as this copyright notice, license and disclaimer are retained with all copies of the document. No license is granted to modify this document. So the main question would be if WSDL files can be treated as content or if they're code. A search of this list's archives for "WSDL" only returns the message I'm replying to. I haven't yet been able to find external precedent. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ legal mailing list -- legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to legal-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
