Re: Am I allowed to package this?

According to the LICENSE file in their git repo, the code in the repo seems to be gplv2. Not sure if that proves anything. I'll do the licensecheck -r later and update you guys.

I don't think copr is appropriate either,
https://docs.pagure.org/copr.copr/user_documentation.html#faq

To me, makes it pretty clear that if it can't be in fedora, it can't be in
copr either.

You need to go through the code (maybe use licensecheck -r to help) to see if all the code is acceptable. If so I'll defer to Neal on the COPR acceptability. Another alternative is until formal support is added to the kernel you can look at packaging it in RPM Fusion. If it's truly FOSS but just not acceptable because it's a kernel module it can go in the Free repository. If it's using proprietary code (even if the project is GPL licensed) then as long as it's redistributable, it can go in the Non-Free repository.

Thanks,

Richard
