Hi Eric, Not sure if this is what you are asking, but: We can (and probably would want to) extend permission to cover all past works that have been released. This would not revoke the original permissions given under the OPL, as those permissions are permanent, but it would supplement them (i.e., past works would thereafter become dual-licensed under OPL and CC-BY-SA). If some Fedora work W licensed under OPL is modified downstream by A (W'), and assume that the OPL requires A to license W' including its changes under OPL: A can relicense W' under CC-BY-SA by agreeing to relicense its changes under CC-BY-SA, but otherwise a downstream recipient of W' receives it under OPL only. - RF -- fedora-docs-list mailing list fedora-docs-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list
