Is legal mention packages that aren't in Fedora repos ?

[Sérgio Basto]

Hi,

Before commit it and push, I'd like have clearance, that is not
breaking any legal police of Fedora .

We have mlt in Fedora repos and mlt-freeworld but it is complex debug
it, so I'd like have one rpm spec file with some conditional macros and
where is possible build the complete package and but just build the
legal part on Fedora [1] , do you see any legal problem ?

Thanks and happy new year !

IANAL, but I think "just mentioning & adding conditionals" is fine as long as
source code itself doesn't have patented stuff and so on.

As far as I know, it's fine. Chromium does it, for example. It has a
giant warning in the spec that the conditional should never be enabled
for Fedora builds, but it's there.

OK, many thanks for the answers.

What you have done here is fine. As pointed out in the thread, this is
the same thing we do in the chromium spec file.
