[Fedora-legal-list] Requesting license review of 7zip (also: question about public domain review requirements)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear legal list,

I just filed
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/640
requesting review request for 7zip's license.

TL;DR - this is blocking the review of 7zip, which we want to have as a
replacement for p7zip which is dead upstream (and is needed by e.g. the
Fedora Asahi Remix)

The specific worry is
- the language dedicating this to the public domain is very spartan
(all of them are one-liners, see the issue)
- some of these are done by other people and not the main project
author, with no reference to where the sources are obtained from

Related question: as I understand it public domain dedications have to
be vetted before use, but where is this requirement documented? e.g.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-approval/#_overview
does not specifically mention a special process for LicenseRef-Fedora-
Public-Domain.

Thanks,
