The issue here (at least the only one I'm aware of) was that the
package contains WSDL files that are nominally under a license that
does not meet Fedora's policy on acceptable licenses.
The default conclusion here should be that the package is not
acceptable for Fedora. However, if you or anyone else would like to
provide an explanation of how these files are used in this package,
that might support a different conclusion. I do not really have the
bandwidth to look into this myself.
Arguably, this file is content, not code. In that case, it should be
acceptable under the "content licenses may restrict modification"
exception:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Good_Licenses_3
CC BY-ND is acceptable under that same policy. The only restriction
imposed by the notice in the files the prohibition against
modifcation:
Recipients of this document may copy, distribute, publish, or display
this document so long as this copyright notice, license and disclaimer are retained with
all copies of the document. No license is granted to modify this document.
So the main question would be if WSDL files can be treated as content
or if they're code. A search of this list's archives for "WSDL" only
returns the message I'm replying to. I haven't yet been able to find
external precedent.
