Here is the latest status update on the FSF Free Software audit of
Fedora:
* Still waiting on the FSF to give me answers on some of the licenses,
(specifically lha, libc-client, xorg-x11-proto-devel).
* cleanfeed was dropped from Fedora Core
* Working hard to get lesstif in and openmotif out before FC-6.
We're almost there. After FC-6 releases, I'll start an audit on Fedora
Extras.
THE KNOWN UNKNOWNS (3):
Packages of questionable licenses that need to be blessed or damned by
the FSF:
#######################################################################
PACKAGE NAME || RPM provided license || Notes
#######################################################################
lha || freeware || Waiting on FSF
libc-client-* || U of W Free Fork || Waiting on FSF
xorg-x11-proto-devel || The Open Group || Waiting on FSF
THE KNOWNS (2):
Packages with non-free licenses that need to be taken out of Fedora Core
and moved to Fedora Extras (or trashed entirely)
#######################################################################
PACKAGE NAME || RPM provided license || Notes
#######################################################################
openmotif-* || Open Group Public || Bugzilla 202527
Everything else in Fedora Core checks out with an FSF compatible
license.
What about Schily tar? It's in Core and the license is CDDL.
