I would suggest:

MR done here
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/merge_requests/17
* The license tag for CC-PDDC would be CC-PDDC (not "Public Domain")
* 1 and 2 would persist under the switch to SPDX identifiers
* For this specific package, the license tag should be CC-PDDC (not
"Public Domain"), but it is not clear that this is really what the
upstream author(s) intended
* Consider getting the upstream author to put the text of CC-PDDC in
the LICENSE file
a couple people have already raised this here

Hi Richard, Jilayne,
Any opinion on the original question about CC-PDDC? It affects a new
package review (rust-pwd).
Thanks,
Michel

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.)

Hi Justin,
Are you asking for the review of these b/c there is a package to be
included in Fedora that uses these licenses?
Thanks,

Hey all,
Since Creative Commons licenses are already coming up, how is the
Creative Commons IGO license family classified in Fedora?
I didn't notice these licenses in the Licenses wiki page. 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the best of my knowledge, they are not superseded by the 4.0 family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.
The key distinction made in the IGO licenses from other CC licenses
is around mediation and arbitration for resolving legal disputes.

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
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?
Thanks,
