The VTK license is neither submitted to OSI or FSF for approving them in one way or another. There was a recent discussion here whether the wording about "fedora *clarifies* an open source license with these three groups" means a strict limit to these three or a hint about what fedora regards as open source licenses. I can't say anything about the wording, the important part is the intention and the decision that was made back then. Anyway here is the license by VTK. Would it be open source for fedora? Who would decide on this, fesco? /*========================================================================= Program: Visualization Toolkit Module: $RCSfile: Copyright.txt,v $ Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Ken Martin, Will Schroeder, Bill Lorensen All rights reserved.
