Description Miroslav Suchý 2025-03-31 20:08:38 UTC
We recently checked the licenses of ivtv-firmware and we found one license that is ok:

https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/642

but there is license that is not-allowed:

Hauppauge OEM/IHV/ISV FIRMWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT

Please remove content and code covered by this license. If whole package is covered by this license, then a package has to be retired.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Miroslav Suchý 2025-03-31 20:18:23 UTC
The other license in this package is not-allowed too
  https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/625

I am afraid, that this means the package has to be retired.

Comment 2 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2025-04-03 07:36:00 UTC
Well, ivtv-firmware isn't used anymore I guess (firmware for analogic TV card)
There is the in-kernel ivtv but I wonder if it's even worth to have it in 3rd part.

No more present in fedora-comps, let's retire it.
Thanks for rising the issue.

Comment 3 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2025-04-11 11:47:06 UTC
- Retired in SCM
- Checked from fedora-kickstarts (only appears as blocked in fedora-eln-guests.ks)

TODO:
Verify the package is blocked in koji in the next compose...

Hopefully will be good for this cycle.
