AFAIK Fedora actually does not currently have any specific license recommendations for anything other than (if this hasn't changed) the use of CC-BY-SA-4.0 for Fedora documentation. In the past I believe Fedora had some informal recommendations around use of the GPL (GPLv2?), LGPL (2.1?) and the MIT license for certain specific categories of things, and I think there were some informal recommendations to use CC0 in some situations and (though I imagine this had no practical significance) SIL OFL 1.1 for fonts.
Having an actual permissive license makes it clear to a potential user that there is no copyright violation. -- _______________________________________________ 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
