[Fedora-legal-list] Guidelines for dealing with licensing issues in distributed packages
What's the best way to raise licensing issues in already-added packages?
I think there are largely two cases:
* Fedora and its distributors comply with the licensing terms, but the
license is not obviously on Fedora's allowed list. An example would
be an obscure field-of-use restriction (as in the JSON license).
* Fedora and its distributors appear violating the license. An example
would be a package that ships a pre-built Linux kernel binary without
the required GPL notices, and without corresponding soruce code.
Do these two cases need to be treated differently? In the past, I may
have filed bugs in Bugzilla, but this might be construed as a bit rude.
I looked at <https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/> and couldn't
find any discussion of this topic. Sorry if I missed it.
Thanks,
Florian
