I run license analysis for libieee1284 http://miroslav.suchy.cz/fedora/spdx-reports/libieee1284 and I found that libieee1284/libieee1284-0.2.11/src/parport.h uses license GFDL-1.1-or-later but that license is allowed only for content https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/blob/main/data/GFDL-1.1-or-later.toml?ref_type=heads To me, this seems like an accidental use of the wrong header. But please resolve it with upstream. Or remove this file from package. Or resolve it with Fedora legals. Reproducible: Always
Looks like I was the initial committer for that file, which came from the Linux kernel headers.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 40 development cycle. Changing version to 40.
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 40 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 40 on 2025-05-13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 'version' of '40'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 40 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed.
Ping. Do you have any plan to solve this?
Hmm, if it is a problem for libieee1284, then it is also a problem for the kernel: /usr/src/kernels/6.12.7-200.fc41.x86_64/include/linux/parport.h has the same license.
Can the kernel header file be used instead in the build of libieee1284? Looking at the vendored file, the majority of the contents is excluded by '#ifdef __KERNEL__', so only a bunch of constants at the top is needed.

The PR has been closed without being applied and without a comment. Resetting the state of this BZ.
There is new PR for that - https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libieee1284/pull-request/5 - I will check with Tim whether I could have commit rights and merge it.
