Description Michael Catanzaro 2021-12-13 19:36:00 UTC
Darktable's appstream metadata indicates it contains CC-BY-NC-3.0 content, which is banned from Fedora because it contains a commercial use restriction. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#Bad_Licenses_3 for reference. We need to either:

 * Identify which content uses this license and remove it from our package, or
 * Remove the darktable package altogether

I'm cautiously hopeful that it's just a mistake, because I don't know which content actually uses this license, but maybe not. See also: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/issues/9674

Yay! Closing this as it seems to have been a simple mistake, not something worth worrying about downstream now that it has been fixed by upstream.
