Description Mark Pearson 2026-05-10 19:41:27 UTC
Doing an open source compliance review for the Lenovo Fedora 44 preload image and found the licence files for libpfm are missing.

Checking the .spec file I think these are missing. Could they be added please?
https://sourceforge.net/p/perfmon2/libpfm4/ci/master/tree/COPYING

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 44 Workstation edition
2. Confirm libpfm is installed by default
3. Confirm libpfm license is not under /usr/share/licences


Reproducible: Always




Additional Information:
Marking as high as it gets flagged as a compliance issue. No functionality is impacted and I'm including the file manually in our preloads to cover us from a legal perspective - but it would be great to have this fixed before Fedora 45.

Thank you for flagging this. I will update the Fedora 43, 44 and rawhide libpfm packages to include the licence file. Fedora 45 will inherit this when it branches from rawhide.
