Good to hear that more work is being done on enabling Open-Xchange to work on a free software stack. Non commercial clauses are unacceptable for inclusion in Fedora Core & Extras since they dont meet the packaging guidelines. We cant generalize about CC licenses without talking about specific details within the licenses in the context of Fedora. I believe that the attribution, sharealike, public domain ones are acceptable within Fedora while the others are not among the spectrum of creative common licenses . For content that originates from Fedora, we have settled down on the OPL license with no additional clauses. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/Licenses/OPL If you need a authoritative answer on any particular license, Greg Dek is out gateway http://fedora.redhat.com/About/contact.html In this case, I am pretty sure my answer is right.
