Hi Thanks to everyone, especially Richard, for their advice and suggestions. As far as I can tell, these are the remaining licensing questions before we are ready to include .NET 7 in Fedora: 1. How to define the MS Patent Promise [1] in Fedora? The discussion is continuing at https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/103 but there hasn't been much movement recently. 2. What to do about code that uses from StackOverflow? It seems like someone just needs to craft the wording for an exception and add it to the CC licenses in Fedora? More at https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/104 Is there anyone who can help craft this wording? 3. What to do about the following licenses: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/src/libraries/System.Text.RegularExpressions/tests/FunctionalTests/AttRegexTests.cs https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:MIT?rd=Licensing/MIT#HP_Variant Both seem look like variants of MIT [2][3]. As folks in this thread have helped me understand, MIT is a category under SPDX, not a single license. Neither of these are part of the MIT SPDX identifier yet. Is it okay to use them under the 'MIT' identifier in Fedora while they are still being worked on the SPDX and fedora-license-data side?
