Consider changing the license change announcement policy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Legal folks,

Can you please consider removing the following rule?

> Fedora package maintainers are expected to announce upstream license
> changes that they become aware of on the Fedora devel list.

-- https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-review-process/#_what_if_the_license_for_a_fedora_package_changes

This creates unnecessary friction for packagers that simply wish to have
correct License fields. I'm also not sure what purposes it serves.
Richard explicitly said that Fedora does not concern itself with
cross-package license compatibility. And even if it did, a "GPLv3+" to
"GPL-3.0-or-later AND MIT" license change shouldn't cause any new
license compatibility issues.
