Hi Tom,
Thanks for reviewing the TGGPL. I've forwarded your analysis to the
author. I don't anticipate that he'll change the licensing of
Tahoe-LAFS since it won't be necessary for Fedora.
I believe Zooko knows about our stance on this, I actually discussed
this with Richard Fontana when the license first came out, and Zooko was
part of that discussion online.

Wouldn't this inherently be true, since Fedora distributes sources of
all Fedora packages?
It should be, but I thought it was worth stating explicitly, lest
someone think they've found a clever loophole. :)
Since Tahoe-LAFS uses TGPPL with exceptions, should I list it in the
spec as "TGPPL with exceptions"?
Yes.
