Hello. Why we can[1] add unfiltered Flathub (it contains both patent-encumbered and proprietary software) and we can't[2] add RPM Fusion at the same time?

SPDX Change for F37?

by Miroslav Suchý

It was already mentioned here in past - should we create Change proposal for F37 about migration of short license names to SPD identifiers? The benefits is IMHO obvious: we can track what is done / what needs to be done. And at the end it will get the information among people. I volunteer to create such document unless somebody is working on it. M.

Typo in FCPA FAQ

by Jason Yundt

Hello, I noticed a typo in the Fedora Project Contributor Agreement’s Historical FAQs [1]. The final answer says “[…]were made obsolete by the udpate[…]” It should say “update” instead of “udpate” From, Jason Yundt [1]: <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Fedora_Project_Contributor_Agreement...>

Do I have to remove the Fedora logos when redistributing a modified version of a Fedora ISO?

by T-vK T-vK

Hello there, I’m thinking about redistributing a slightly modified version of the official Fedora 34 ISO. Do I have to modify the ISO and remove all Fedora logos and replace them with the Fedora Remix Logo? And if so, is there a list of file locations that I have to take care of? I would of course make it very clear to everyone trying to download that ISO, that it is not official and merely based on Fedora. I have no intention of using any logos, unless i have to of course. I found this site: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines... It mentions the Fedora Remix Logo, but I don't understand what it is actually for and where exactly I have to use it. Any help would be appreciated. Best regards T-vK

mininet license

by Iñaki Ucar

Hi, Is this license [1] acceptable for Fedora and what would be the appropriate identifier for the License field? It seems to me some sort of BSD, and in fact the authors themselves identify it as such in the setup.py file [2], but I'd like to be sure. [1] https://github.com/mininet/mininet/blob/master/LICENSE [2] https://github.com/mininet/mininet/blob/master/setup.py -- Iñaki Úcar

by Timothée Ravier

Hi everyone, The ECC Brainpool Curves [1][2] are currently not available in Fedora as according to this BZ [3], this needs Fedora Legal approval. Could someone from the legal team take a look to see if there are any blockers regarding Brainpool Curves inclusion in Fedora? Thanks!
