Description Mark Pearson 2024-07-04 18:34:17 UTC
I've been doing open source compliance review for the Lenovo Fedora preload and the efivar copyright is not available in /usr/share/licences.

Looking at the .spec I believe this is because it's included with the efivar package, but only the efivar-libs package is in the default install.

Can the licence (COPYING) file be moved into the efivar-libs package please? It would make my open source compliance reviews much easier :)

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora40 Workstation Edition
2. Confirm efivar-libs is installed by default
3. Confirm efivar COPYING file is not in usr/share/licences.

Hi Mark,

I've added COPYING to efivar-libs, let me know if that works for you.

Regards,

Nicolas
