side note, but I must say that the change seems to come out of no where and they did not include a copy of the CC-PDDC in the repo, which is also odd. I hope there is only the one author of this code!Dear all, During the review of rust-pwd (needed as a new dependency for rust-nu- path): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2101580 it came to light that the upstream Rust crate declares the license to be CC-PDDC: https://spdx.org/licenses/preview/CC-PDDC.html The change itself happened after the previous patch release (1.3.0) and is released in the latest 1.3.1: https://gitlab.com/pwoolcoc/pwd/-/commit/8375b41379c6f7b2a3b7a675d6b892b27faa44fd
Given we are on the eave (ish) of adopting SPDX identifiers and "Public Domain" represents a Fedora category which will later need to be manually reviewed to be updated to an SPDX id... I'd say it'd be preferable to review the CC-PDDC as to whether it should be allowed for Fedora based and then, if so, then add it to the Fedora allowed list and use the SPDX id :)Two questions here: - can we treat CC-PDDC as basically Public Domain, which is approved by Fedora per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Good_Licenses - if not, can we use the Git commit history to assume that the intent is to make this public domain?
I'll give my two cents on that: given that it's a public domain dedication and also that CC0-1.0 is already allowed (which this pre-dated), I would say it meets the free/open criteria for Fedora and should be allowed for use in Fedora.
Richard - you wanna chime in?
