Hello ,
Since a long time I have some questions about legal issues, in some
perspectives , so I decide start by this Mailing List ...
You may want to try the legal list, but sure...
In Faq What I can build in Copr?
Forbidden items , but not packages that are not compliment as packages
guidelines .
The minitube review [1] was not accepted because
is not_useful_without_ external_bits [2] but I can build it in Copr
isn't it ?
This ticket is related I think:
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1517
IMHO, you could build minitube in copr as long as it doesn't have any
hard dependencies on rpmfusion or other 3rd party packages.
The second question , should be more legal is about openssl , Fedora
and RedHat begging re-enable ECC/ECDHE/EC/ECDSA/elliptic curves [3]
algorithms in openssl, but they just enabled a few curves , looks to
me that is legal have all curves enabled , other distributions like
Debian does , so I think Fedora just enabled what really needs and
stay more safe , and I ? can I build openssl without restrictions ?
as I wrote, I don't see any legal impediment .
No. IMHO this is not acceptable in copr. The reason Fedora doesn't
enable them all is patents. I have no idea (nor do I want to) know
which patents over what, but the ones we can enable have been carefully
checked by legal. The others are not acceptable.
