Hi, I've had a chance to talk to spot and I've drafted the
following
policy about licensing the things that we write in Fedora
Infrastructure:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure_Licensing
Do people like it? Is a GPL family license pretty much everywhere
good
for everyone or are there places that we'd like the general rule to
be
"MIT" or something looser instead?
I want to relicense python-fedora (GPLv2 => LGPLv2+), pkgdb and fas
(GPLv2 => AGPLv3+) if we approve this. I'll talk to the contributors
to
those projects to make sure they have no objections first, but is
that
generally acceptable? Anyone else want to join in on the
relicensing?
Having things under compatible licenses will make code sharing
possible.
(GPLv2 only is not compatible with AGPLv3+) which is my incentive for
migrating apps that I'm contributing to onto a common licensing
scheme.
I'm putting this on the meeting agenda for Thursday but discussion in
the mailing list is also welcome.
I definitely won't be at the meeting tomorrow, but yes, this is something that must be
done, +1 from me.
I guess to fit in, we should do the some for the voting app.
