Hi all.

I make a speech again about a couple of license issues.
In past, both questions have been discussed in two different
package-reviews:

1- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=566750
2- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=715314

Currently, I have opened a new package review request
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908089) of Ipopt which
considers both Mumps and Metis employment. Politely, Paulo shows me
that these license types have already been evaluated some months ago.

In particular, I wish to point out:

- - Mumps is released without any copyright or license rescriction but
as 'public domain': http://mumps.enseeiht.fr/index.php?page=credits

- - Metis seems "can be used for non-commercial projects without any
restrictions. For commercial-use, the essential restriction is for the
vendors not to be reselling Metis".
https://projects.coin-or.org/BuildTools/browser/ThirdParty/Metis/trunk/INSTALL.Metis

Should I consider these licenses incompatible with Fedora policies
definitively ?

Regards
