As part of our ongoing committment to Open Source, Fedora Extras is undergoing a license audit of the packages contained within it. We do this for several reasons: 1. To ensure that we don't have any packages containing licenses that do not meet the Fedora licensing standards. 2. To ensure that the license tag for Fedora packages is accurate (even though it is by no means legally binding). 3. To get rid of things like "BSD-ish" and "Distributable" wherever possible. 4. Because we like pain. It hurts, sooo good. I can do this by myself. Of course, if I do, then the results of this audit will probably be ready sometime in 2013. Sadly, this is not a process that can be easily scripted (at least, not to my knowledge), and just requires knowledgable people looking at the package source code and identifying the licensing. Sound like fun? Well, no. But it is something that we do need volunteers to help with. So, if you're interested in taking on this challenge, let me know. The more people we can get to help in this task, the quicker it will be completed. We have about 2550 source packages to check.
