Hi,
Thanks for the detailed response! I am still working through most of
this, but want to get some clarification on this one:

This license was recently determined to be not allowed:
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/69
Does that mean any code under this license is firmly not allowed?
As noted there, a similar Unicode license was treated as
"good" in the
past, for unclear reasons, and I speculated that this UTF conversion
code probably appeared in a number of Fedora packages.
Is there anything that I need to do to find such packages and/or handle
them in some way?
You are welcome to submit an issue about this at fedora-license-data.
Would this request be to re-consider and treat this license as
acceptable ? If not, can you clarify what the issue should be about?
The best result
here, long term at least, would be to either get the upstream to
replace this code with something under a FOSS license
Okay, we can probably start some conversations to look at this for .NET
8. What are my options for .NET 7 in the short term?
or to see
whether a more recent FOSS Unicode license might cover the same code
(which might require finding someone at the Unicode Consortium).
I see Pamela's response later in the thread about a contact. Is there
anything I can do to help move this conversation along?
