SPX Change proposal
by Miroslav Suchý
I took the initiative and drafted
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SPDX_Licenses_Phase_1
I did **not** set it as ready for wrangler yet. I welcome comments. And feel free to edit it directly. Especially these
who I put there as proposal owners.
I would love to track all remaining work in the Scope section, so we know what needs to be done and who is responsible.
I am sure I missed something there. Feel free to add it.

Updated IEEE license
by Florian Weimer
The licensing wiki says that the IEEE license is a “good” documentation
license. However, with the 2017 release, IEEE switched to this license:
| The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and The Open Group,
| have given us permission to reprint portions of their documentation.
|
| In the following statement, the phrase ``this text'' refers to portions of
| the system documentation.
|
| Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in electronic form in
| the Linux man-pages project, from IEEE Std 1003.1-2017, Standard for
| Information Technology -- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), The
| Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7, 2018 Edition, Copyright (C) 2018
| by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and The Open
| Group. In the event of any discrepancy between these versions and the
| original IEEE and The Open Group Standard, the original IEEE and The Open
| Group Standard is the referee document. The original Standard can be
| obtained online at http://www.opengroup.org/unix/online.html .
|
| This notice shall appear on any product containing this material.
<https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/man-pages-posix/...>
This license no longer permits modified redistribution, as far as I can
see. Is this still an acceptable documentation license as far as Fedora
is concerned?
Thanks,
Florian
