Re: [Fedora-legal-list] JTF license agreement

I expected as much.   This is a old but still quite popular library used 
in several universities that have a introductory course to programming 
using Java.  If you are interested, please do get in touch with them and 
they might be amenable to a change in the license

I was waiting on RH Legal here, but I think it is safe for me to say
that clause 5b makes it non-free.

Re: [Fedora-legal-list] Have a question about using Fedora14 for a university project and publishing the results

David Woodhouse — 2013-05-14T12:12:03

I can't imagine why or how the Fedora licence would prohibit such a
thing, but I did think that the default *Oracle* licence prohibited the
publication of "unofficial" benchmark results. I assume you've checked
that?

Re: [Fedora-legal-list] Have a question about using Fedora14 for a university project and publishing the results

Hi,

[Sorry for double post, previously, I've only sent the answer to 
Harikiran and not to the list.]

I am quite sure there is no violation in that (but I'm not in any way 
authorized to decide that).

However I'm wondering, why you use such an old Fedora version, when 
Fedora 18 is the latest recent stable release.

[Fedora-legal-list] Have a question about using Fedora14 for a university project and publishing the results

Harikiran Enna — 2013-05-14T05:32:36

Hi Fedora Team,

I am a student studying Masters in Computer Science at one of the
universities in Minnesota, USA. As part of a starred paper for the
university, I wanted to perform some oracle database performance tests on
fedora operating system.

For this purpose, I have downloaded Fedora 14 (free software from web ) and
installed my Oracle Database software for performing some performance
tests. I have included my test results in my paper with mention of using
Fedora 14 operating system.  My university may decide to publish the paper
and I would like to make sure that my university publishing my paper would
not conflict with Fedora 14 license agreement.

I have the following information in my system when I do "uname -a".

Linux hari 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Mon Oct 18 23:56:17 UTC 2010 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

your suggestions would be a great help.

Thanks,
Hari

[Fedora-legal-list] Which BSD variant is this? (pixz)

Richard W.M. Jones — 2013-05-08T13:49:07

License:

https://github.com/vasi/pixz/blob/master/LICENSE

Debian says it's "BSD-2-Clause":

http://ftp-master.metadata.debian.org/changelogs//main/p/pixz/pixz_1.0.2-1_copyright

It appears to be the same as this:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:BSD?rd=Licensing/BSD#2ClauseBSD

except without the final paragraph.

So it's just "BSD"?

Rich.

[Fedora-legal-list] GPLv2 with exception linked with GPLv3+

Laurent Rineau — 2013-05-06T08:50:21

The openscad package from Fedora has the following COPYING file:

========================quote==============================
==============
*********************************************************************
  As a special exception, you have permission to link this program
  with the CGAL library and distribute executables, as long as you
  follow the requirements of the GNU GPL in regard to all of the
  software in the executable aside from CGAL.
*********************************************************************
 
                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
                       Version 2, June 1991
========================end 
quote=========================================
[and then there the text of GPLv2].

(from /usr/share/doc/openscad-2013.01.17/COPYING on Fedora 17).

The license of CGAL libraries is LGPLv3+ for some parts, and GPLv3+ for other parts. OpenSCAD 
does use the parts that are under GPLv3+.


Is the exception to GPLv2+, in the license of OpenSCAD, sufficient to make it compatibl

Alec Leamas — 2013-05-05T10:41:48

As has been discussed on fedora-devel, I have an issue with the zocial 
font package. The question is if this font because of it's use of 
trademarked logos can't be used in Fedora.

Any help out there?
