Hi,
I've found the following licenses in Vim package, which aren't in
allowed licenses:
Apache License v2.0 with Runtime Library Exception - see
https://swift.org/LICENSE.txt or
https://scancode-licensedb.aboutcode.org/apache-2.0-runtime-library-exception.html
This is what SPDX calls Swift-exception. Please submit an issue at
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data to add `Apache-2.0
WITH Swift-exception`.
See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-review-process/
Reported here
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/188
Open Publication License, v1.0 or later - see
http://www.opencontent.org/openpub/
Ignoring the 'or later' issue, this license (SPDX: OPUBL-1.0) is
generally classified as "not allowed" with a usage note that says
it is allowed for documentation "if the copyright holder does not
exercise any of the “LICENSE OPTIONS” listed in Section VI".
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/blob/main/data/OPUBL-1.0.toml
(I think we did it this way because under our new system prohibiting
it by default while stating an exception was the most convenient way
to express the policy, which has been in place in Fedora for at least
~15 years.)
Ok, Vim has it for its documentation and 'grep' didn't see any sentences
which should be in the source if upstream exercises license options, so
IMO we're clear.
So I will add the license to the license tag and add a comment that it
is for documentation and upstream does not use any license options.
Sounds ok?
Zdenek
Richard
