https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2227547 Fabio Valentini <decathorpe@xxxxxxxxx> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Doc Type|--- |If docs needed, set a value --- Comment #2 from Fabio Valentini <decathorpe@xxxxxxxxx> --- Note that there has been a discussion about the partially problematic licensing of the upstream project: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/CYDPF2JNJCZWM7LHMF33PWAHLA6Q4AQW/ The TL;DR: 1. Using the "technically-not-good-for-code" CC0-1.0 license for this package is *fine* - because the functionality used to be part of the existing "rust-notify" package, and was only split off into a separate component with newer versions. So the "grandfathering" rule applies here. 2. The license specification in the upstream metadata is "wrong" (to our standards): The crate used to be licensed CC0-1.0-only, new code that was written recently is dual licensed "CC0-1.0 OR Artistic-2.0" (for some definition of "Artistic-2.0", see point 3). Applying our standards, the license spec should be "CC0-1.0 AND (CC0-1.0 OR Artistic-2.0)". 3. Upstream has attached a non-standard "choice of venue" clause to the Artistic-2.0 license text, which is both a) unusual and b) means this license can't actually be classified as plain "Artistic-2.0". Additionally, it's unclear what a choice of venue clause would even mean, considering that the project has some few dozen contributors, and certainly not all of them live in New Zealand. For these reasons, I'm opting to ship this package under CC0-1.0 *only*. I will update the existing package for the "notify" crate with a corresponding change as well. (Note that this issue was missed when the "notify" crate's license was updated, which is why this has only been discovered when packaging the "notify-debouncer-mini" crate.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
