Without that we are just trusting on faith that that list will in fact
list licenses that contributors think are "free".
The thought was that there was a accepted meaning of "Free License", but
I can see how that might not be the case. We meant Free as in FSF.
What happens in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing is changed in
error
or by someone not authorized to make a change?
That page is locked down tight. Only members of Fedora Legal can change
it, and that group is a very very controlled set of people. It (and the
Legal: and Packaging: namespace) are pretty much the only wiki pages
which are ACL restricted.
So perhaps there are a few ways that the license could be changed to
a
nonfree license?
Over my dead body. However, perhaps it would be worthwhile to define a
"Free license" in the FPCA to remove all doubt.
