--- Comment #40 from Kevin Kofler <kevin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
It is a Fedora policy that licenses allowed in Fedora must be free according to
the FSF.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main also says:
> This list is based on the licenses approved by the Free Software Foundation , OSI and consultation with Red Hat Legal.
and all the licenses in the list so far:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#Good_Licenses
are approved by the FSF (in 2 cases, under certain conditions that are required
to be satisfied for software under those licenses to be allowed in Fedora).

Approving a license considered non-free by the FSF would be a significant
policy change that needs approval from the Council and that I am strongly
opposed against (and I hope I am not the only one).
