[389-users] Plugin development licensing

[DUVERT Vincent]

Hello,

I have a question regarding the licensing of developed 389-ds plugins.

The FAQ 
(https://directory.fedoraproject.org/docs/389ds/FAQ/licensing.html#directory-...) 
indicates that the Directory Server core code is licensed under a GPL + 
Exception license that allows non-GPL 389-ds plugins to link to 389-ds 
and to use specific header files.

However, the LICENSE file in the current 389-ds-base source does not 
contain this exception. It was apparently removed by the following 
commit, when the license was changed to GPLv3+:

https://pagure.io/389-ds-base/c/88cae401aee39a19ac6b07c3c36ee8daa07192e7

Does that means that the license exception does not apply to the current 
version of 389-ds?

Regards,

Vincent Duvert
