ASL 2.0 with 'CUPS' exception when packaging libcupsfilters (reviving old 'ASL 2.0 with exceptions' thread)
by Zdenek Dohnal
Hi all,
I'm about to put a new package - libcupsfilters - under review to get it
into Fedora. It has the same license as CUPS - ASL 2.0 with exception,
which was taken from LLVM and we talked about it in thread mentioned in
subject.
Now I checked
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/ and I see
there Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception, which matches the contents of the
license and exception, but the name of the exception in the NOTICE file
is 'CUPS exception'.
Is it okay from legal part to use SPDX name ' Apache-2.0 WITH
LLVM-exception' or do we need a special name?
Thank you in advance!

Licenses without SPDX expression found in sane-frontends
by Zdenek Dohnal
Hi all,
ppisar was doing the license review of the package when it arrived into
EPEL 9 and proposed to update the SPEC file to the latest FPG. Since
Fedora Licensing now requires SPDX names for licenses, he found two of
them without SPDX name in sane-frontends:
GPL-2.0-or-later WITH Autoconf-exception-2.0-like exception
GPL-2.0-or-later WITH gnu-javamail-exception-like exception
The former is used in config.guess+config.guess files generated
Autoconf, the latter is a license which is used in SANE project.
Would it be possible to review the licenses and assign a SPDX
identifiers for them? Or make an agreement to use just GPL-2.0-or-later?
Thank you in advance!
