Description of problem: The mysql package includes info documentation under the following non-free license: "This documentation is NOT distributed under a GPL license. Use of this documentation is subject to the following terms: You may create a printed copy of this documentation solely for your own personal use. Conversion to other formats is allowed as long as the actual content is not altered or edited in any way. You shall not publish or distribute this documentation in any form or on any media, except if you distribute the documentation in a manner similar to how Sun disseminates it (that is, electronically for download on a Web site with the software) or on a CD-ROM or similar medium, provided however that the documentation is disseminated together with the software on the same medium. Any other use, such as any dissemination of printed copies or use of this documentation, in whole or in part, in another publication, requires the prior written consent from an authorized representative of Sun Microsystems, Inc. Sun Microsystems, Inc. and MySQL AB reserve any and all rights to this documentation not expressly granted above." At a minimum, this should be reflected in the license tag of the package. Or the documentation may need to be removed from Fedora altogether. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mysql-5.1.42-2.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. info mysql 2. rpm -q --qf '%{LICENSE}\n' mysql Actual results: 1. As above. 2. "GPLv2 with exceptions" Expected results: 2. "GPLv2 with exceptions and Redistributable, no modification permitted"
I've now gotten confirmation from the fedora-legal list that indeed the documentation must be stripped from the package to conform to Fedora guidelines. Will do it in next update.
