Fedora-Legal-README.txt in installation media outdated?

[Qiyu Yan]

If you download a Fedora 34 live iso at https://getfedora.org/
with filename: Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34-1.2.iso

Mount it and see Fedora-Legal-README.txt in the image. There are many
Fedora 31 things show up, should this file be updated on each release
cycle?

(Maybe not, unless someone like me mounts the iso file by mistake, and
check the Legal file by curiosity LOL)

It is. It's updated in the prep of fedora-release package, but perhaps
something went wrong and the image didn't get the updated version. :(

Can you file a bug on fedora-release about this and we can try and track
it down. If someone would like to investigate, please do. ;)

There is no updated version.

The text was not updated since Fedora 31.

It used to be updated in the spec file %prep
(see up to f28 timeframe):

sed -i 's|@@VERSION@@|%{dist_version}|g' Fedora-Legal-README.txt

Anyhow, I've proposed a change that will hopefully make it version
agnostic and we don't have to update it all the time. 

Thanks again for noting this... we will see what legal says.
