Blocking FE-Legal, This is license problem. This bug affected libsmi, See #901504. I found typo (Comment 2). incorrent: #901504 corrent: bug 901504 Sorry. From http://trustee.ietf.org/docs/Copyright-FAQ-2010-6-22.pdf Section 2.5: Code Components included in IETF Documents can be used for any purpose pursuant to an open source license. Section 3.1: Can I use code that is included in IETF Documents in my software? Yes. Code Components (see Question 3.2) that are embedded or included in IETF Documents published on or after November 10, 2008, can be used, copied, distributed and modified by anyone in any manner under the open source Simplified BSD License, as described in Questions 3.2 and 3.3. Section 3.2: What is meant by “Code Components”? Under the TLP, “Code Components” are any components intended to be directly processed by a computer. This means that all forms of software code are Code Components. The IETF Trust maintains a list of common code components at http://trustee.ietf.org/license-info/. The items on this list are automatically treated as “Code Components” for purposes of the TLP, but this list is illustrative only. ***** The current Code Components list explicitly calls out MIB modules: http://trustee.ietf.org/license-info/Code-Components-List-4-23-09.txt "o Management Information Base (MIB) modules" This is the license the IETF puts Code Components on: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php It is BSD, Free and GPL-compatible. They are fine, as is, in Fedora, as long as they come with the corresponding BSD license. That license text was missing, so I have added it to net-snmp in rawhide (and F17/F18). ***** It is worth noting that this licensing policy was not in place when Debian initially noticed this issue, which is why they came to a different conclusion at the time. Many thanks to the IETF for making this change. libsmi-0.4.8-11.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libsmi-0.4.8-11.fc17 libsmi-0.4.8-11.fc18,net-snmp-5.7.2-5.fc18.1 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libsmi-0.4.8-11.fc18,net-snmp-5.7.2-5.fc18.1 Package libsmi-0.4.8-11.fc18, net-snmp-5.7.2-5.fc18.1: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 18 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.
