[Fedora-legal-list] Creative Commons as code license

[Alejandro Saez Morollon]

Hi! I’m working on including a now-retired dependency inside the golang-x-perf package. The dependency is licensed under CC-BY-4.0[0], but it clearly contains code. As far as I understand, CC-BY-4.0 is only permitted for content, not code. But the original package, which was shipped until Fedora 40, also had CC-BY-4.0 as its license.

So, my questions are: where can I see if this was an exception? And what would be the next step to request an exception?
