In Fedora 7 and 8 (and earlier) versions, system-config-users ships with documentation that is under the Open Publication License (OPL) 1.0. This license usage calls out two optional clauses of the OPL that make the content not freely modifiable or distributable. This usage is a remnant from the Red Hat ownership of the package when all docs were under that style of OPL; this is no longer the case, and Fedora uses the OPL *only* without the optional clauses. Below are two texts. (A) shows the license as how it currently appears in the package. (B) shows how it should appear. We may also want to update the copyright notice, although if the content hasn't changed at all since then, perhaps not. BTW, one benefit of this change is that Fedora Docs can then use the content for the Fedora Administration Guide, and help maintain the upstream version so we can draw from it downstream into our doc. You may also want to update the entire legalnotice file, since we no longer are required to call out all those individual trademarks in that way. Here is an example of the legalnotice is constructed now: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f8/en_US/sn-legalnotice.html If you want to attach a copy of the XML file to this bug report, I can do the update and submit a patch.

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fixed in F-11 with system-config-users-docs-1.0.6-1.fc11.
