Samba4 (which is under review for inclusion into Fedora) will soon ship some data (the Active Directory schema) under less-than-usual licence terms.

The attached file gives the text.

I believe it is no less free than Free licences on Fonts that require redistribution with software.

The review ticket is: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453083

If this causes a problem, presumably the packager can strip setup/ad-schema (and the whole server implementation) from the tarball.

Andrew, do you know if these specific schemas fall under the OSP?

I can't see it on the list, and I would be very supprised if it was. It does however fall under the 'no patents' WSPP licence agreement that the PFIF signed with Microsoft, as Microsoft provided it to me under that agreement.

(It isn't much different to the rest of Samba in that regard)

Okay. I'll look over this and hopefully have this cleared before the end of this week.

Thanks,
