With increasing number of licenses, it may be good to start with some automation where incompatibility has been established. Checking for GPL-2.0-only and Apache tags can be automated and a warning given. This would just alert the packager. Checking packages already in Fedora that need corrections/further analysis are below. Can raise issues for these. It is possible to write a short script to check for GPL-2.0-only and Apache license declarations and add this to either rpmlint (co-maintained by SUSE) or the licensechecker. imhex https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/imhex/blob/rawhide/f/imhex.spec Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception not just Apache-2.0 zimlib https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/zimlib/blob/rawhide/f/zimlib.spec https://github.com/openzim/libzim Seems to have been updated to GPL-2.0-or-later https://github.com/openzim/libzim/issues/30 strawberry https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/strawberry/blob/rawhide/f/strawberry.spec https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry Seems to mix licenses in one application, probably needs a check scratch https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/scratch/blob/rawhide/f/scratch.spec https://github.com/LLK/Scratch_1.4 Installed as one bundle, should be two separate packages for Scratch and Squeak due to licensing retroarch https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/retroarch/blob/rawhide/f/retroarch.spec https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch Installed as one bundle, one file has GPL2 only license, maybe rewritten/relicensed? https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/blob/master/memory/ngc/ssaram.c qownnotes https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/qownnotes/blob/rawhide/f/qownnotes.spec Bundled GPL-2.0-only library and Apache 2.0 patch.
