Greetings,
I would like to distribute OpenSpades on COPR.
The license of the code itself is GPLv3. But it depends on content which I am not sure can
be distributed on COPR.
I have attached a link to the license in question below.
Can I distribute the files in question on COPR?
https://github.com/yvt/openspades-paks/blob/master/Nonfree/LICENSE.md

No. It is _almost_ acceptable as a content license, but the restriction
on distribution for only "non-commercial open-source project" prevents
it from being considered "freely distributable".

Thanks for the reply, just in case I've added a script to the package
which downloads the content. The content itself is not included in the
package. I guess that's ok?

No, that only applies to code. I believe these files would be considered
content, and thus, this arrangement where the user downloads the content
that we cannot/will not distribute is fine.

I also forgot we are talking about Copr here, which doesn't have to
comply with all the Fedora packaging guidelines.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that
packages in COPR still have to comply with the Fedora packaging
requirements which pertain to copyright/trademark/patent/trade secrets. Or
has that changed and I didn't notice?!?

It hasn't changed. I don't know where Miro was going with his comment.

I'm sorry for the unnecessary noise. My point here was that Fedora
packages not downloading parts they need from the wild Internet is
probably (in my opinion) not legal requirement, thus it (in my opinion)
does not apply to Copr.
However, I'm going to stop this, before as it seems I cause more and
more confusion, since I've posted the first reply (I've done that
without much thinking apparently).

They have to meet the guidelines for licensing, not the guidelines for
packaging. The point is that the content must be legal, not that it all
be packaged according to our stringent guidelines.
That said, the line between those probably isn't going to be completely
clear to most people. I'm not really sure how we can make it clearer
but I'm sure Spot and I could work together to implement reasonable
suggestions.
