Comment 1 Benson Muite 2022-06-08 05:21:28 UTC
Thanks for this. Is it possible to make a build on Copr or Koji to check that it will work on supported architectures,  
x86_64, AArch64 and ARM-hfp https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_architecture_support

Public domain code seems to no longer be allowed, though want to check if this applies here. The spec could also be more descriptive in the license breakdown.

Comment 8 Robert Scheck 2022-08-24 11:38:25 UTC
(In reply to Benson Muite from comment #7)
> The spec could also be more descriptive in the license breakdown.

May I kindly ask you to explain this? The spec file says: "Breakdown in COPYING file of libmd release tarball". The mentioned COPYING file (online copy from git main branch to have it clickable in RHBZ: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libbsd/libmd/-/blob/main/COPYING) is very descriptive from my point of view; I've rarely seen an upstream being so precise about license per file, like here at libmd.

Comment 9 Benson Muite 2022-08-25 06:20:34 UTC
Minor point, but the FSF licensed files are not in COPYING.  Most other spec files also have the breakdown in them. What you have seems sufficient. Thanks for your contribution.

Comment 10 Robert Scheck 2022-09-12 18:54:06 UTC
> Public domain code seems to no longer be allowed

Benson, did I overlook something? At https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/, "Public Domain" is marked as allowed (for any use). Did you maybe mix up "CC0" (allowed-content) and "Public Domain" somehow?

> Minor point, but the FSF licensed files are not in COPYING.

Correct, but why should they? These files are not the actual software/code itself, just files generated by autoconf, automake, libtool et al. for the release tarball (like at many other projects).

Comment 11 Robert Scheck 2022-09-12 20:08:01 UTC
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/70 was filed by Maxwell G after a discussion on the IRC (thanks!), who also suggested that "BSD and ISC and Beerware" should be switched to "BSD-2-Clause AND BSD-3-Clause AND ISC AND Beerware". I would postphone this until the clarification in the GitLab issue - and finally perform one change.

Comment 12 Benson Muite 2022-09-14 04:12:55 UTC
Thanks. For CC0 see
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/RRYM3CLYJYW64VSQIXY6IF3TCDZGS6LM/#RRYM3CLYJYW64VSQIXY6IF3TCDZGS6LM

maybe md4.c, md5.c, md4.h and md5.h can be replaced with other implementations?

Why would they need to be replaced? They are *not* licensed under CC0, and Legal explicitly approved the package's license in the linked ticket.

Comment 14 Benson Muite 2022-09-14 05:45:13 UTC
Thanks for the update.  Can the spec file be update appropriately with the license information in the submitted package.

Comment 16 Benson Muite 2022-09-14 17:41:36 UTC
Approved. Have removed the legal block, hope that is ok.

Comment 24 Richard Fontana 2022-09-14 21:37:24 UTC
The presence of code covered by public domain dedications is probably not a problem but I haven't actually looked at the language here (public domain dedications are completely nonstandardized but are typically OK). Fedora does not allow CC0 for code as of ~2022-08-01 but I do not understand CC0 to be used in this package based on what has been reported here. 

Information on populating the spec file License: field can be found in Fedora Legal documentation but as far as I can gather from this bug those standards are being adhered to here.
