AIUI, this page is basically talking about a *patent* the author has on OCB. It's not a copyright license in itself. What the author is basically saying is that he's willing to grant rights to people using the OCB functionality in different ways. Simply put, I *think* the first grant is sufficient for an open-source licensed project using the OCB functionality to be safely included in Fedora, but the proper thing to do is wait for someone suitably qualified from fedora-legal to respond. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
