Dear legal list,
I just filed https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/640 requesting review request for 7zip's license.
TL;DR - this is blocking the review of 7zip, which we want to have as a replacement for p7zip which is dead upstream (and is needed by e.g. the Fedora Asahi Remix)
The specific worry is - the language dedicating this to the public domain is very spartan (all of them are one-liners, see the issue) - some of these are done by other people and not the main project author, with no reference to where the sources are obtained from
Related question: as I understand it public domain dedications have to be vetted before use, but where is this requirement documented? e.g. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-approval/#_overview does not specifically mention a special process for LicenseRef-Fedora- Public-Domain.
Thanks,
