The thing is nobody experienced in license review is actually expecting the FSF to declare this non-free. I know Tom doesn't and I know RH legal doesn't. So we are asking the FSF for a review out of an abundance of caution, but it is silly to hold up merging this feature due to an extremely unlikely outcome. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
