Hi, Earlier this week we pushed in production a system that automatically downloads new sources of projects packaged in Fedora, adjust the spec file in distgit to match the new version and runs a scratch build on koji. The system takes the new-release information from anitya [1], opens a ticket on bugzilla for package flagged for monitoring on pkgdb and report whether the scratch build was successful or not in that bugzilla ticket opened.
Today, I was asked the question whether there could be some legal issue about automatically downloading new sources and running scratch builds with them. I guess this could be a problem if a project suddenly went closed source or started including non-free component(s). On the other hand, I do not see this any different from scratch build performed on packages before their review on bugzilla. To clear this, could I have legal's opinion on this question? Thanks, Pierre _______________________________________________ legal mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
