Thank you for these insights. Are you able to provide a link to the RHEL
review of ODbL for the Fedora license team to refer to in their review
process?

This is somewhat interesting as it is the first case I can think of
where a license that Red Hat has specifically reviewed internally for
inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux has at a later time come up for
a decision in Fedora.
We actually approved ODBL for RHEL last year, and I think if we had
our contemplated merging of RHEL license review and Fedora license
review in place, it would just end up on the "good" list, but given
that the new process is not yet established it would probably be a
good idea to do another review now that it has come up for Fedora.
