Does Bodhi need to be covered by the FPCA?
by Randy Barlow
For a long time I didn't know that Bodhi should be covered by the FPCA
so some commits have gone in from contributors who don't have Fedora
accounts. Pierre-Yves Chibon had mentioned to me that it was required
for contributors to sign the FPCA, but then I forgot to check that for
a long time until today, resulting in even more contributions that
weren't covered by the FPCA.
I read the FPCA again today and noticed that it defines "Submit" with
examples that end with "version control systems administered by
Fedora". Though the examples do say "without limitation", the fact that
it doesn't just say "version control systems" seems to imply that
version control systems not administered by Fedora would not be
covered. Since Bodhi is on GitHub which is not administered by Fedora,
does Bodhi need FPCA for contributions? Is License In = License Out not
sufficient for Bodhi?
If it is required, what should I do about the contributors from the
past who hadn't agreed to the FPCA?
I wrote this pull request for the case that FPCA is required:

c-pchart: GPL unless you wish to use it in a commercial project
by Randy Barlow
Hello!
Remi Collet noted in a package review[0] I submitted that there is some
unclear wording about the licensing of the package. The readme[1] says:
> It was previously stated that this package is on MIT license, which
> did not meet the requirements set by the original author. It is now
> under the GNU GPL v3 license, so if you wish to use it in a
> commercial project, you need to pay an appropriate fee.
The pchart.net license page[2] says even more, but also has a slight
contradiction I think:
> The pChart library is released under two different licenses. If your
> application is not a commercial one (eg: you make no money by
> redistributing it) then the GNU GPLv3 license (General Public
> License) applies. This license allows you to freely integrate this
> library in your applications, modify the code and redistribute it in
> bundled packages as long as your application is also distributed with
> the GPL license.
>
> If your application can't meet the GPL license or is a commercial one
> (eg: the library is integrated in a software or an appliance you're
> selling) then you'll have to buy a commercial license. With this
> license you don't need to make publicly available your application
> code under the GPL license terms.
The slight contradiction I referenced is the "if you can't meet the
GPL" bit. The first paragraph specifically cites making money by
redistributing, but the second paragraph sounds like they think it's OK
if you follow the GPL terms. It's confusing. I think Remi is right to
say that we need to get clarification before we can add this package to
Fedora.
One thing that makes this a bit more complicated is that the szymach
version of pchart sounds like it might be a fork of pchart, but doesn't
make that clear either.
Is this a blocker for package review? Would we need both upstreams to
grant a clearer license before we can proceed?

AC-3 support in Fedora
by Tom Callaway
As Neal Gompa pointed out yesterday, the last standards essential patent
for AC-3 support expired:
https://ac3freedomday.org/
Accordingly, AC-3 is now legally permissible for Fedora and the Fedora
Community is working on moving A52dec (liba52) into Fedora as a result.
Christian Schaller has a very complete blog post on this topic here:
https://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2017/03/22/another-media-codec-on-the-way/
Please keep in mind that if you know of something that isn't
A52dec/liba52 or aften, that implements AC-3 natively (not just via
linking to liba52), please let Fedora Legal take a look at it (either
via emailing legal(a)fedoraproject.org, emailing this list, or blocking
the Review Ticket against FE-Legal). We just need to sanity check it
quickly before letting it in.
Thanks,
~tom

AC-3 in Fedora
by Neal Gompa
Hey,
So, people on the internet are talking about "AC-3 Freedom Day" being
yesterday[1], that is, the last standards-essential patent expired
yesterday at midnight. Can we look at allowing AC-3 stuff in Fedora
now?

New github TOS
by Stuart Gathman
Should Fedora Legal issue an opinion on this? This affects a lot of
upstream projects used by Fedora.
A number of people (not lawyers) have seen the new github Terms of
Service as incompatible with GPL, CC-BY and other free/libre licenses -
and therefore recommend removing all affected content immediately.
Examples:
Recommend removing content:
https://www.mirbsd.org/permalinks/wlog-10_e20170301-tg.htm#e20170301-tg_w...
http://joeyh.name/blog/entry/removing_everything_from_github/
New TOS are innocuous:
https://www.earth.li/~noodles/blog/2017/03/github-tos-change.html
My (IANAL) opinion so far (from #spf(a)irc.perl.org) :
(01:48:09 PM) SDGathman: ScottK: My reading of the new TOS is that *IF*
you don't bother to include an explicit LICENSE in a repo, it has an
implicit BSD license.
(01:48:53 PM) SDGathman: Maybe he is worried he might accidentally
upload a repo with no LICENSE ?
(01:50:57 PM) julian: I doubt that a git hoster's TOS can legally force
any license on your code without you explicitly declaring it.
(01:51:27 PM) julian: unless they, say, explicitly create a `LICENSE`
file for you stating that license.
(01:51:35 PM) julian: and you don't remove/replace it.
(01:55:01 PM) SDGathman: Mainly, the TOS explicitly says that by
uploading, you grant github the right to reproduce your content to
provide their service, *and* grant other github users the right to
"fork" the content.
(01:55:33 PM) SDGathman: There is no implicit license to distribute
beyond github.
(01:56:11 PM) SDGathman: If you don't want people to fork your repo,
maybe it shouldn't be on github? (Or you can buy their private
commercial service.)
(02:16:32 PM) lennyvaknine: or bitbucket :)
(03:03:48 PM) ScottK: One of those posts (or one referenced) says
bitbucket is similar.
(03:04:25 PM) ScottK: sdgathman: OK. I didn't have a strong opinion, but
wanted to make sure you were aware.
(03:07:10 PM) SDGathman: The main takeaway is, just like github warns
you, make sure your repo has a license before uploading. When you create
a new repo on github, they have a menu of standard free/libre licenses
to put in your empty project from the getgo.
(03:07:52 PM) ScottK: And yet, so many don't have it.
(03:09:15 PM) SDGathman: And in that case, the github TOS says it has an
implicit BSD like license.
(03:10:53 PM) SDGathman: Which isn't so bad - unless you are a
commercial company and don't want a competitor grabbing your code just
before the commit that added the LICENSE.
(03:12:35 PM) SDGathman: I always start with GPL, and add PSF or other
looser license later if needed.
(03:13:13 PM) SDGathman: It took a while to cultivate that habit...
