Okay, thank you. Retired the package in rawhide and orphaned the
package. If the removal should be required also in stable releases, I
would have to take it again. It would be a part of f38 as it is now
sadly, should it be removed even when it is already in the final freeze?
This is for the beta versus final release so I think a ticket to releng https://pagure.io/releng/ explaining the reason and why it needs to be removed should cover it. For F37 and F36, it is there and done. I would just let it 'time-out' in those releases.
I am not sure how much severe is the license problem. Should all stable
branches get it retired too? Should complete removal [1] apply to this
package?
