Assuming an upstream tarball contains one example file under the BSD license with the following usage restriction:
- You acknowledge that Software is not designed, licensed or intended for
- use in the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear
- facility.
Can we rm that nonfree file in %prep, or do we need to strip it from the tarball as well?
I think this has been carefully worded so that it does not constitute a field-of-use restriction. If I'm correct, this is not in itself a reason why the license is not acceptable to Fedora.
Here's a similar example:
| […] THIS SOFTWARE IS NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED FOR USE OR RESALE AS | ON-LINE CONTROL EQUIPMENT IN HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS REQUIRING | FAIL-SAFE PERFORMANCE, SUCH AS IN THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES, | AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION OR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, | DIRECT LIFE SUPPORT MACHINES, OR WEAPONS SYSTEMS, IN WHICH THE FAILURE | OF THE SOFTWARE COULD LEAD DIRECTLY TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR | SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE ("HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES").
