Hello. redeclipse included non-free (not clear) content licenses. See: /usr/share/doc/redeclipse-data-1.2/all-licenses non-free license list: "Akashi-Font" license not permitted distribute. "custom" license not permitted resell. "Mark-Policy" license Restricted modify. I think that this license is trademark" license. All "content" license is CC-BY-SA, free content license (example: zlib, OFL, etc...), public domain, and dual license. (CC-BY-SA and non-free license) Question: Which is dual license style ? A) Dual license is apply "a OR b" style. (Its no problem.) Example: Perl B) Dual license is apply "a AND b" style (Its license problem.) Example: OpenSSL Seggests: 1. Remove non-free contents. 2. Replace fedora free contents. 3. Choose CC-BY-SA (If dual license is "A" style) 4. Remove Fedora repos. Thanks.

Blocking FE-Legal, This is license problem.
I found typo. (in Description) incorrent: trademark" corrent: "trademark" Sorry.
I'm the packager for Red Eclipse in fedora and also the one fiddling with licensing in the Red Eclipse Team. I've interpreted these licenses as OK, for these reasons: 1. Akashi-Font The license clarification given by the author[1] I've interpreted as allowing redistribution, since it implies that we can do everything including making the ttf available to the public (since akashi is "non-paid" on the tenbytwenty homepage). Is this an insufficient clarification? 2. custom and CC-BY-3.0-US[2] I've interpreted this similar to the OFL-1.1, that when these textures are included in Red Eclipse then they are not "as-is" and hence possible to resell, but looking at this again I do see that it's not obvious and/or the right interpretation. 3. Mark Policy This is a trademark "license"/policy and not a copyright license, it is very similar to that of LibreOffice, I don't think this is an issue. 4. "Dual License" Could you please clarify what you mean with this, what content and licenses specifically? As far as I know everything that has dual licenses are type B AND compatible (my opinion of akashi-license+CC-BY-SA for example) or set set like that by the author (Torley's Custom and CC-BY-SA-3.0-US for example), in both cases the dual licensing is, in my opinion, not the problem (though one of the license itself *might* be) I am looking into the Torley textures and the Akashi font currently due to earlier comments from the FSF directory, however it can be noted that despite comments of things being unclear and some arguing (as far as I heard, I was not present) they did decide to include Red Eclipse: http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Red_Eclipse [1] ### License: Akashi-Font http://www.tenbytwenty.com/ .

As per an email discussion with Torley Linden, the Torley Textures in Red Eclipse are now used under the CC-BY-SA-3.0 license. Also added upstream is a clarification of the Akashi-Font license. See https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/redeclipse/browser/doc/all-licenses.txt I think this, if not before, now should cover all issues; would it be worth making a new package release with reworded license information, or is this not needed?
Hi Martin, thanks for your clarification notes. The Akashi font license is still non-free because it does not permit commercial distribution (or non-commercial distribution, for that matter). Their clarification does not resolve this concern. We'd need them to explicitly permit all kinds of distribution of fonts under that license (commercial and non-commecial, original or derived/modified). I believe this is the only issue remaining.
I am of the opinion that the clarification is enough, since Akashi is a "Free ('Gratis')" font the implication is that you CAN "make the ttf available to the public" and "use them for whatever you like". But given the comments here I've contacted Ed for further clarification, and prodded more towards OFL. I'm holding up on uploading to version 1.4 until this is resolved. Is there any more action that would need to be taken at the moment?
Keep in mind that "use" in English does not equal "use" in Legalese. We need them to be clear about the permission to distribute both unmodified and modified versions without any sort of restriction (commercial or otherwise). Moving to OFL would resolve this. I don't think anything else is a concern for us at this point, just resolving the issue with getting the Akashi fonts under a Free license (or replacing them with fonts that are).
I've had a reply from Ed noting that the Akashi font is now to be considered licensed under the SIL Open Font License (OFL) 1.1. I will push out packages for 1.4 with this note (or rather, removing the note about Akashi, since the OFL does not have requirements for use in "documents" which I assume the "word art" pre-rendered images in question should be considered as).
Awesome, this should resolve all the concerns here. Please just close this bug out when the 1.4 packages get built/pushed.
For f19, it should currently be built with the test version on enet (1.3.7). You'll need to reup the buildroot override for it. Also redeclipse should get added to the enet update, rather than be pushed independently. If it takes you a while you get to the new builds enet might have made it to stable, but it sounds like you are planning on doing this quickly.
enet 1.3.7 went to stable tonight. By the time tonight's f19 compose is done, there shouldn't be a need to worry about the buildroot override and the redeclipse update can be pushed separately.
