Without the accompanying COPYRIGHT file its not possible to determine what the license on that particular header is, and we have no redistribution rights at all. Now, given context we can tell that it comes from the gsm package, which is already in Fedora and carries an MIT license. However, I chatted with the legal expert and the bottom line is that unless we can go back in time and find something with that exact version of the header that has the COPYRIGHT file intact, we have no way to prove that the license didn't change at some point and hence the gsm.h and libgsm.a files need to be treated as prohibited source and actually removed from the tarball that gets packed into the srpm. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL#When_Upstream_uses_Prohibited_Code for more details. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
