Hi Fedorians,
I'm back with more ansible license updates. Upstream, some of the community Ansible Collections have adopted the REUSE specification, which makes it much easier to determine the overall license. For collections that have adopted this, the license texts are all stored as files in one directory, instead of being spread out throughout the source tree as file headers. I would like to thank the upstream developers for working with me on this.
The License tag of ansible-collection-community-general has changed from "GPLv3+ and BSD and Python" to "GPL-3.0-or-later AND BSD-2-Clause AND PSF-2.0 AND MIT". See https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ansible-collection-community-general/pull....
The License tag of ansible has changed from "GPLv3+" to "GPL-3.0-or-later AND Apache-2.0 AND BSD-2-Clause AND BSD-3-Clause AND MIT AND MPL-2.0 AND PSF-2.0". I cannot claim this to be 100% accurate, but I have done my best to determine the overall license. Note that ansible is a curated bundle of 103 Ansible collections, so this task is a bit difficult. See https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ansible/pull-request/32.
Thank you! We are not aiming for 100% accuracy (as that is impossible outside of the simplest [from a licensing standpoint] packages) but for greater accuracy than was possible or expected under earlier approaches. This is very helpful.
