Re: License clarification: is CC-PDDC just "Public Domain"?

My view - Fedora shouldn't at this point make classifications on
licenses in advance of their foreseeable inclusion in an actual
proposed or existing package in Fedora. (Historically, Fedora did
this, possibly even with respect to some of the Creative Commons
licenses.)

They are distinctly different from other Creative Commons licenses and to the best of my knowledge, they are not superseded by the 4.0 family of Creative Commons licenses. I mention it here because if we are looking at other Creative Commons license families, it would be good to clarify how Fedora views the IGO family too. For context, some UN agencies are considering the IGO family of licenses as a default open source license for work created by public servants, so it isn't impossible to see CC IGO content working its way into Fedora at some point.
