I do not agree with this view and consider this decision not to be helpful.
These licenses might not be "commonly used", but if they are used, these
are the controversal ones, that need to be looked into, exactly because
they "not commonly used".
Provocant question: Do you want contributors to contact redhat-legal in
such cases, as we were required to do in the early days of Fedora?
To me, this reads as a pretty nasty regression in Fedora's workflow,
which should be reconsidered/reverted.
I agree as well. I think it's a seriously bad idea to remove that guidance. Additionally, the historical responsiveness of Legal has been awful and effectively stopped contributors from doing things, including bringing in useful new software. I'd rather have guidance in place to continue to minimize the need to poke Legal.
