ASL 2.0 with 'CUPS' exception when packaging libcupsfilters (reviving old 'ASL 2.0 with exceptions' thread)

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

 



Hi all,

I'm about to put a new package - libcupsfilters - under review to get it into Fedora. It has the same license as CUPS - ASL 2.0 with exception, which was taken from LLVM and we talked about it in thread mentioned in subject.

Now I checked https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/ and I see there Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception, which matches the contents of the license and exception, but the name of the exception in the NOTICE file is 'CUPS exception'.

Is it okay from legal part to use SPDX name ' Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception' or do we need a special name?

Thank you in advance!


Zdenek
