Hi,
pngquant was relicense under GPLv3 [1] but after a short time author
added an exception and make pngquant as dual-licensed the latest
README.md says:
License
pngquant is dual-licensed:
GPL v3 or later, and additional copyright notice must be kept for older parts of the
code. See COPYRIGHT for details.
For commercial/closed-source/AppStore distribution please ask kornel(a)pngquant.org for
a license.
This is acceptable for include in Fedora ?
The 'please ask' sentence could be read as implying that the authors
regard commercial and 'AppStore' distribution as not being allowed by
the nominal GPLv3 license. In the past I believe we've treated that
sort of thing as reason enough not to allow inclusion in Fedora. You
could try getting the upstream project to revise the sentence.
