Assigning to the Legal contact. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 33 development cycle. Changing version to 33. This message is a reminder that Fedora 33 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 33 on 2021-11-30. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '33'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 33 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 33 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-11-30. Fedora 33 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. This has nothing to do with a specific release. I can't find a history for the Unlicense in the legal archives or the page history. If you think it should be removed, please post to the legal mailing list: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal%40lists.fedoraproject.org/ Closing this bug as it's not the appropriate venue for this request. |
Pamela Chestek dixit: >Fedora considers it acceptable: >https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Good_Licenses The “Unlicense” is a PD dedication, not a copyright licence. If it is even valid in any country it isn’t valid in many others, and these are impossible in, for example, most of the EU. There’s currently a discussion on the OSI mailing lists (first license-discuss, then license-review), if you’re interested in more details. I request you to remove it from the list of acceptable licences. Thanks in advance, //mirabilos
