Some notes on the comments:
The Legal comment. I think you and I agree. If the language is unclear,
could you rerite it? I basically am wanting to duplicate the guidelines for
copr as theoretically, the requirements for this repo and copr repos can
differ (the requirement that a non-free software but distributable license
is not okay in copr is a fesco policy, not a RH Legal requirement.
Similarly, the decision that Fedora itself doesn't ship non-free software is
a Board decision.
What if we check licenses by licorice (scanning licenses)? It can't find
every strange licence, but enough to pass legal requirement. My team
tested it on bigger set of packages and output was quite good. We could
set legal flag if bad license occurred in package and rest could go into
repo without manual review.

The Conflicts and replace comments. I thought it had been decided
that
conflicts and replacements should not be allowed. If that wasn't
a decision we should probably kick those choices back down to the open
questions. I've done so now and we can discuss that on the Open Questions
part of this thread/the next meeting.

You are right we reached some conclusion on conflicts and replace, but
what if we want for example new v8? We have terribly old v8 in current
Fedora and conflicts might be a good solution in this case.
