license review before inclusion into Fedora and as you agree/acknowledge that Fedora is provided as a distribution under the GPLv2 at install time I think license issues are covered - Red Hat legal can comment better however. If the real reason for your query is so we can offload "issues" such as the usual forbidden item stuff to the user then you are maybe missing the point. Fedora doesn't ship software with restrictive licenses, period. The reasons for this have been covered before ad infinitum and ad nauseum.
I dont mean its for the official Fedora repos ... Fedora 100% dedicated to Free software and I love that .. This idea is more for 3rd party sotwares .. like games etc ... by having license agreement support , i believe it will encourage them to package in RPM instead of in some installer that only does extraction of files .. about auto update ... if the package already installed .. just skip license agreement .. -- ----------------------------------------------- regards Hikaru ----------------------------------------------- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail Amano Hikaru 天野晃 「あまの ひかる」 mohd.izhar.firdaus@xxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------- kagesenshi.87@xxxxxxxxx Blog: http://kagesenshi.blogspot.com http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MohdIzharFirdaus ----------------------------------------------- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
