We haven't exactly documented this but we are assuming that anything that would be covered by LicenseRef-Fedora-Public-Domain would have to actually use the magic words "public domain", which I think was the approach under the Callaway "Public Domain" convention. Rather, this license would probably be appropriate for the other new umbrella LicenseRef, LicenseRef-Fedora-UltraPermissive, which we see as sort of the successor to Callaway "Freely redistributable without restriction". Jitka, please submit an issue or merge request for inclusion of the text in <https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/blob/main/UltraPermissive.txt>. As an aside, I think it is somewhat unfortunate that we will probably not end up submitting this license to SPDX for inclusion in the SPDX license list. :-) Richard _______________________________________________ legal mailing list -- legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to legal-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
