Any license with a commercial use restriction is non-free. Material under such a license must not be distributed in Fedora, either in source or binary RPM. The fact that Red Hat/Fedora does not charge for Fedora distribution is not relevant to this point, for two main reasons: * It is possible that any Fedora package may end up in RHEL, which Red Hat does sell. * It is possible that anyone else may choose to sell Fedora (or build derivative works off Fedora and then sell that). We do not wish to limit their ability to do this. ~tom == Red Hat _______________________________________________ legal mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/[email protected]
