NVIDIA license
by Mamoru Tasaka
Hello, all:
Now I am trying to review rsssserver (bug 450409).
First I checked the license issue of this package, then I found some of the codes
are licensed under the below:
/*********************************************************************NVMH1****

******************************************************************************/
Is this license allowed for Fedora? (if so, is this GPLv2 compatible?)

GPLv3+ + additionnal terms
by pablo.martin-gomez
Hello all,
I forecast packaging MicropolisCore, a free release of the first
SimCity's version (quite rewritten),but when EA has released
the software under GPLv3, they added the additional terms following
(for information, the aim of the release is to propose out-of-box a game
in the OLPC) :
-------

This looks possibly MIT-ish to me. Can someone confirm? (this is for scrip)
