How to handle GFDL/GFDL-1.3-no-invariants-or-later

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

 



Hi,

There is a man page in one of my packages that is distributed under
the GFDL. This used to be a valid (documentation) license. But
recently rpminspect (as run in bodhi) flags it as invalid, both the
old-style tag GFDL (in f39) and the new-style tag
GFDL-1.3-no-invariants-or-later (in rawhide):

BAD Unapproved license in elfutils-0.190-1.fc39.src: GFDL Not Waivable

BAD Unapproved license in elfutils-0.190-2.fc40.src: GFDL-1.3-no-invariants-or-later Not Waivable

license-validate-20-1.fc38 did allow these licenses:
$ license-validate -v --old "GFDL"
Approved license
$ license-validate -v "GFDL-1.3-no-invariants-or-later"
Approved license

Thanks,

Mark
