Description Matt McCutchen 2010-01-30 05:40:30 UTC
Description of problem:
The mysql package includes info documentation under the following non-free license:

"This documentation is NOT distributed under a GPL license. Use of this
documentation is subject to the following terms: You may create a
printed copy of this documentation solely for your own personal use.
Conversion to other formats is allowed as long as the actual content is
not altered or edited in any way. You shall not publish or distribute
this documentation in any form or on any media, except if you
distribute the documentation in a manner similar to how Sun
disseminates it (that is, electronically for download on a Web site
with the software) or on a CD-ROM or similar medium, provided however
that the documentation is disseminated together with the software on
the same medium. Any other use, such as any dissemination of printed
copies or use of this documentation, in whole or in part, in another
publication, requires the prior written consent from an authorized
representative of Sun Microsystems, Inc.  Sun Microsystems, Inc. and
MySQL AB reserve any and all rights to this documentation not expressly
granted above."

At a minimum, this should be reflected in the license tag of the package.  Or the documentation may need to be removed from Fedora altogether.

Comment 1 Tom Lane 2010-02-20 17:36:29 UTC
I've now gotten confirmation from the fedora-legal list that indeed the documentation must be stripped from the package to conform to Fedora guidelines.  Will do it in next update.
