Hey all- I was looking to package Hylafax for fedora, and found that its copyright is rather custom. It looks rather like a creative commons license, but since IANAL, I wasn't 100% sure. Heres their copyright:
http://www.hylafax.org/content/Copyright
Does that qualify as an acceptible license to package for Fedora?
Regards Neil

Yeah, that's just MIT.

FYI, https://bugzilla.redhat.com//show_bug.cgi?id=188542
I believe the license tag we worked out on that package is "libtiff and BSD with advertising". However, the whole thing is a big mess, with multiple packages all calling themselves "Hylafax" and a package submitter who refuses to rename his package to avoid confusion.
If you want to help out with that ticket, I would really appreciate it. It sapped all of my will to deal with it, and now I've been ignoring it for months.
