Can we add the following license to Fedora? I mean that it would become
acceptable for packages.
I was told that I should write the reasons to use it instead of an existing
one. I think that this could show the variety of cultures that make Fedora
the best.

Link to license: http://www.ojuba.org/wiki/_export/raw/waqf/license

The reasons:

1. It's not new, Waqf had been used to boost scientific advance in
Islamic civilization for centuries.
2. If the law allow us to have some thing as a property, then we (the
owners) have the right to make what we own as waqf.
3. We need to show our different vision, motivation and ethical
background, we are not doing this because we are communist nor
socialist nor capitalists who feel pathetic..etc. nor what ever
background.
4. In the forth term we made an obligation on distributing the
modifications that it must be known the the end user that this is a
modification.
