Okay, so there's a Second Life bug open pointing out what appears to be a license problem with some OpenGL headers: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-2881 There is indeed a bunch of headers with "SGI Free Software License B" boilerplate in them: $ grep -l "SGI Free" /usr/include/GL/* /usr/include/GL/glext.h /usr/include/GL/glu.h /usr/include/GL/glxext.h /usr/include/GL/glxmd.h /usr/include/GL/glxproto.h /usr/include/GL/glxtokens.h $ grep -l "SGI Free" /usr/include/GL/* |xargs rpm -qf|sort|uniq mesa-libGL-devel-6.5.2-13.fc7.i386 mesa-libGL-devel-6.5.2-13.fc7.x86_64 mesa-libGLU-devel-6.5.2-13.fc7.i386 mesa-libGLU-devel-6.5.2-13.fc7.x86_64 xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.2-9.fc7.x86_64 The devel packages say they're all MIT license: $ grep -l "SGI Free" /usr/include/GL/* |xargs rpm -qfi|grep License| sort|uniq Size : 1393741 License: MIT Size : 82501 License: MIT Size : 872295 License: MIT "SGI Free Software License B" is explicitly not acceptable in Fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#head-d8cc605dd386091c8b6be97b8a43fb6a5d624ae1 I've googled up and down and I haven't found an explanation as to what is going on. Mesa's merge review is untouched: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=226136 Is there a reason these files don't fall under the SGI license? There's a provision for "an alternative license" but I'm not even going to pretend to understand the mechanics. If so, could the headers be clarified, and an explanation made in Mesa's review? And a reply made here? And Mesa's home page fixed? ;P http://www.mesa3d.org/license.html GLEW apparently had the same problem, fixed by taking headers from Mesa, so I'm very confused as to what is going on: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=251191
