Hello. SRC RPM is : "fpc-2.6.0-3.fc18.src.rpm". fpc included non-free code. Files: fpcbuild-2.6.0/fpcsrc/packages/opengl/src/glu.pp This code license is proprietary, Its non-free. fpcbuild-2.6.0/fpcsrc/packages/opengl/src/glut.pp This code license freely distributable, but do not allow modify. Its non-free. fpcbuild-2.6.0/fpcsrc/packages/opengl/src/freeglut.pp fpcbuild-2.6.0/fpcsrc/packages/opengl/src/glext.pp This code is not license infomation. Its non-free. Suggests: 1. remove non-free code and rebuild. 2. replace fedora free (acceptable licensed) files. 3. remove fedora repos. Thanks.

Blocking FE-Legal, This is license problem.
It' a header file. Afaik it is not possible to claim copyright on such headers. (Since it's not a creative work) It would imply that no-one could use opengl in any open-source project at all. The copyright-information is in those files, because those files are automatically generated from the original header-files. The comments are copied. I'll ask upstream what to do. And maybe someone from legal can help?
Besides, I find it hard to call this 'non-free' It's basically a BSD-license.

Seems that this is already changed in fpc version 2.6.0, which is packaged in F18. For more information see this upstream bug: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=20200
