Blocking FE-Legal, This is license problem. (In reply to mejiko from comment #0) > 1. Ghostscript included jpegxr. But this license is unclear. (I think.) This doesn't seem to be part of the build. I can add a 'rm -rf jpegxr' to %prep to be sure... or does this need the tarball to be regenerated? > 2. I check included cmap file, This cmap files licensed under 3-cause BSD > License. > > Note: "Identify-UTF16-H" license is not 3-cause BSD license. This cmap file > license is AGPL. I'm not sure that's the case. LICENSE has this paragraph: ==> The files in the Resource directory and any subdirectories thereof are also part of GPL Ghostscript, with the explicit exception of the files in the CMap subdirectory (except "Identity-UTF16-H", which is part of GPL Ghostscript). The CMap files are copyright Adobe Systems Incorporated and covered by a separate, Affero GPL compatible license. <== So Identity-UTF16-H is part of GPL Ghostscript and therefore licensed as Affero GPL: ==> GPL Ghostscript is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms the GNU Affero General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. <== The other CMap files are covered by a separate license which is compatible with the Affero GPL license. I'm not sure I see the problem with the CMap licensing. Note: if there is still a problem with the CMap licensing, an option is to use the CMap data from the poppler-data package.

(I think.) > > This doesn't seem to be part of the build. I can add a 'rm -rf jpegxr' to > %prep to be sure... or does this need the tarball to be regenerated? I recommend that regenerate tarball. (If this license is non-free) This license is new license. Is this license is fedora acceptable license ? I don't know. > I'm not sure I see the problem with the CMap licensing. I understand, This is not license problem. but license tag is incorrent. Cmap files licensed under 3-cause BSD license (but Identify-UTF16-H is AGPL'ed), 3-cause BSD license and AGPL is permit modify.
