Agreed, however, the purpose of this MR is to obtain a 'more correct' list of licenses in the kernel and output them in the License field of the RPMs. There are certainly going to be some cases where we're not sure what the right thing to do is, some entries that need more investigation, etc. I don't think it's correct to compare to other distros as they may have modified licenses. The ONLY place I'm comfortable looking at as a 'source of truth' is Linus' upstream repository. Here's my proposal: Let's remove the "Redistributable, no modification permitted" (sorry @vkuznets for reversing course on that), and add an issue to track the missing SPDX license header in the appletalk fw, as well as any other issues we find. I can coordinate with upstream to figure out what the license should be and we can pick that up as we rebase. I don't think we're doing ourselves a favor by continuing to report "GPLv2 and Redistributable, no modification permitted" because we know that is absolutely incorrect. IMO even an incremental change here would be goo. https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/issues/131 Thoughts? _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
