This tag should be used to define a superset of the License tag information in this case, since it's used to override License for the SRPM. However, this tag does not exist before RHEL 9.4 for EPEL purposes. Note that for packages of static-link ecosystems like Rust and Go, this is flipped: the License tag is a superset of the SourceLicense tag, as the License tag represents the mixture of licenses for all the statically linked packages, whereas SourceLicense just indicates the license of the sources shipped in the SRPM. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- _______________________________________________ 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
