Hello:
I am updating the kickstart file for Fedora Scientific. I am keen to include the PiCloud client library (http://www.picloud.com/), having been quite impressed with the ease of use. From my last check, it is not available in the Fedora package repository, however its installable from PyPi (using python-pip), so I do a python-pip install in the %post part of my kickstart file.
PiCloud sources are distributed under the LGPL license - you can get the source (only after creating a (free) account)). This is the LICENSE file content:

I hope its legally OK to include this library in the spin?
Many Thanks! -Amit

No that is not acceptible if you are publishing ISOs. (It might be allowable for the case where just the kickstart file is published, but I would recommend against that as well.) Fedora needs to have the source code available and we won't.
If you want this, the proper way to do this is to first package PiCloud and then add it to the package list for the scientific spin.

Thanks for the clarification. The PyPi package page: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cloud does have the source tarballs. I hope I can work on creating a package for this -- will be my first, if it happens.
Thanks!
Best, Amit
