Italian identity card middleware for Linux cannot be packaged for Fedora
because a developer assigned an "all rights reserved" licence to his code.
In the ticket [1] where I raised this problem, some developers of the
project said that they will investigate to find out if the lines of code
of the "wrong" license maybe erased.
My personal opinion is that only THE author must be the one allowed to
change the licence of his own code, not another person.
Is that correct?
Best regards

Hi all,
I’m posting this to both SPDX-legal and Fedora-legal.
I have just finished doing a compare of all the “good” font licenses for Fedora with the SPDX License List. As a result, I have submitted 4 new license to SPDX. See https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/issues <https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/issues> (specifically, Issues 1404, 1405, 1406, and 1407)
There are still two more “good” font licenses that may need to be added, but need a bit of research (e.g., looking for the license text in the actual source files of the packages) first. If anyone wants to help with that, let me know!
SPDX-legal - note that the criteria for font licenses to be considered “good” for Fedora is slightly more relaxed than the license for software. I still believe they will all fall squarely within the SPDX license inclusion guidelines.
Fedora-legal - once these issue show as “Accepted” SPDX will need some help creating the PR with the actual files. If anyone out there wants to help there, that would be great!
Cheers,
Jilayne
