Updating several packages to SPDX - legal - Fedora mailing-lists

1 Aug 2022


      I am preparing to update a batch of packages’ License tags to SPDX, with 
License field changes as reported below.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the agenda package will be updated from an 
effective license “GPLv3+” to “GPL-3.0-or-later AND GPL-2.0-or-later AND 
CC0-1.0”. The portion covered by CC0-1.0 is the AppData XML file, which 
is content.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the appeditor package will be updated from an 
effective license “GPLv3” to “GPL-3.0-only AND CC0-1.0”. The portion 
covered by CC0-1.0 is the AppData XML file, which is content.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the arpwatch package will be updated from “BSD 
with advertising”—which should have been just “BSD”—to “BSD-3-Clause”.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the c4core package will be updated from “MIT and 
Boost” to “MIT AND BSL-1.0”.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the c4project package will be updated from “MIT 
and ASL 2.0” to “MIT AND Apache-2.0”.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the cairomm and cairomm1.16 packages will be 
updated from “LGPLv2+” to “LGPL-2.0-or-later”.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the casc package will be updated from “LGPLv2+” to 
“LGPL-2.1-or-later”.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the cpp-hocon package will be updated from “ASL 
2.0” to “Apache-2.0”.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the debugbreak package will be updated from “BSD” 
to “BSD-2-Clause”.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the dippi package will be updated from 
“GPLv3+”—which should have been just “GPLv3”—to “GPL-3.0-only AND 
CC0-1.0”. The portion covered by CC0-1.0 is the AppData XML file, which 
is content.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the dr_libs package will be updated from 
“Unlicense or MIT-0” to “Unlicense OR MIT-0”
----------------------------------------
The License field for the edac-utils package will be updated from 
“GPLv2+” to “GPL-2.0-or-later”.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the fast_float package will be updated from “ASL 
2.0 or MIT” to “Apache-2.0 OR MIT”.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the festival-freebsoft-utils package will be 
updated from “GPLv2+” to “GPL-2.0-or-later”. Furthermore, the License 
field for the festival-freebsoft-utils-doc subpackage, previously 
inherited from the base package, will be updated and corrected to 
reflect its dual-licensed status: “GPL-2.0-or-later OR 
GFDL-1.2-no-invariants-or-later”.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the fflas-ffpack package will be updated from 
“LGPLv2+” to “LGPL-2.1-or-later AND LGPL-2.0-or-later”.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the flatbuffers package will be updated and 
corrected from “ASL 2.0 and BSD” to “Apache-2.0”.
The code previously considered BSD (BSD-3-Clause) is that which is 
derived from grpc, which has an upstream license of BSD-3-Clause. It is 
now clear that even code from grpc is intended to be Apache-2.0 in this 
project. (Google is the copyright holder for both projects, so it can 
relicense at will.) See https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/pull/7073.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the flintqs package will be updated from “GPLv2+” 
to “GPL-2.0-or-later”.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the fmidi package will be updated from “Boost” to 
“BSL-1.0”.
----------------------------------------
The License field for the freexl package will be updated from “MPLv1.1 
or GPLv2+ or LGPLv2+” to “MPL-1.1 OR GPL-2.0-or-later OR LGPL-2.1-or-later”.
