Unfortunately I don't know how licenses applies, so if program
is
licensed under OSI-approved license then 2nd license doesn't apply
anymore?
AIUI, this page is basically talking about a *patent* the author has on
OCB. It's not a copyright license in itself. What the author is
basically saying is that he's willing to grant rights to people using
the OCB functionality in different ways. Simply put, I *think* the
first grant is sufficient for an open-source licensed project using the
OCB functionality to be safely included in Fedora, but the proper thing
to do is wait for someone suitably qualified from fedora-legal to
respond.
