--- Comment #19 from Jason Tibbitts <tibbs@xxxxxxxxxxx> ---
OK, so sdl-mng will need a bundling exception.  I know that the licenses are
compatible, but differing licenses like that are a red flag for possible
bundling issues.

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries

Your comment about being behind the upstream version is a pretty good argument
for why we generally disallow such things.  Even if upstream doesn't supply the
buildsystem to compile to a shared library, it's usually really easy to make it
do so, and if not then it's still pretty easy to make it a separately packaged
static library.  However, the situation has become more complicated if it's
been patched.

Note that I'm on the packaging committee so I can make sure your request gets
on the schedule.  I can guess that the committee is at least going to ask if
you couldn't just separately package a static version of sdl-mng and will want
a diff between your version and the distributed version.


As for the stuff in util, do what you like; since you're the author, it isn't
an issue.

For the weird window size problem, I think your initial idea was a good one but
you should limit it to the size of a single screen (which might be 800x600 or
4K) instead of the entire desktop (which might not even be rectangular). 
That's essentially what the maximize button on any window manager will do.  I
don't know if that level of screen geometry is passed down through SDL, though.
