CoPilot and Fedora packages
by Vitaly Zaitsev
Hello.
I'm asking the Fedora Legal team for a position on open source projects
containing GitHub CoPilot AI generated code. We need to solve this
problem for the electrum update[1].
I think this is not a problem for OSS projects, because even if CoPilot
copy-pastes GPL-licensed fragments, the license will be GPL.

Do I merge "(A AND B) AND A" into "A AND B" or not?
by Miro Hrončok
Hello,
during a package review I came across this License tag (simplified):
License: ((Apache-2.0 OR MIT) AND BSD-3-Clause) AND (Apache-2.0 OR MIT)
Where "(Apache-2.0 OR MIT) AND BSD-3-Clause" is a license of one "unit" built
into the RPM and "Apache-2.0 OR MIT" is a license of another "unit". (Both
units are built into a single binary if that makes a difference.)
Do I change that to:
License: (Apache-2.0 OR MIT) AND BSD-3-Clause
Or not?
I know that we are not supposed to calculate "effective license", but in my
head they both mean the exact same thing.
