Perl packages and App::FatPacker output
by Florian Weimer
Hi,
is it conforming to Fedora licensing practices to bundle
App::FatPacker output in Perl SRPMs, without rebuilding it
from the original sources?
Obviously, this is maintenance hazard, but if it is not
acceptable licensing-wise as well, this might help to cut
the discussion short. 8-)
Thanks,
Florian

[WTF] openerp: what's this license (#1)?
by Alec Leamas
openerp 7.0 have some files with license below. Is it possible to
conclude an effective license for this? (AGPL 3.0+ and LGPL 2.1+)? Or is
it just an invalid? attempt to relicense?

[WTF] openerp: can a license look like this (#2)?
by Alec Leamas
Hi all!
Need som help with openerp 7.0: Here are (in my eyes) strange licenses.
First one below. What's the effective license here? (LGPL 2.1+ and AGPL
3.0+)? Is this kind of relicensing OK?

Usage discrimination in Akismet (WordPress Plugin)
by Jochen Schmitt
Hello,
I'm currently working with a own WordPress blog and have to find out, that the
WordPress plugin is only free for personal use.
In the readme.txt file you find the folllowing inforatioons:
License: GPLv2 or later
PS: You'll need an [Akismet.com API key](http://akismet.com/get/) to use it. Keys are free for personal blogs, with paid subscriptions available for businesses and commercial sites.
The above cited sentence told be, that commercial sites have to pay
a fee, if they wnat to use that plugin.
Becuase this violate the Fedora policy, I would like your mind
about this situation.
Best Regards:
Jochen Schmitt
