They are cleaning up the package license tags: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/LicenseTag This means all packages are audited now. The main Frysk license is GPL + Exception so we can link with non-gpl compatible code like eclipse. One of the maintainers noticed that we were using binutils (libopcodes) which is GPL-only though, so cannot be used in a larger work with EPL code. > I assume this is reason for the change Andrew made on > August 16? > http://sourceware.org/ml/frysk-cvs/2007-q3/msg00648.html > > Is there any public discussion of the audit? fedora-devel and fedora-maintainers has lots, but those are super busy lists: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-maintainers/ This particular issue came up here first I believe: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-maintainers/2007-August/msg00264.html Cheers, Mark
