Hot news:
- SPDX upstream finally got approved some of our licenses waiting
in the queue.
- in fedora-license-data - Richard and I are working together on old and painful issues. The number of open issues is now 52. I am so happy about it, because it was over 60 for ages.
- almost every week I notice maintainer who has local copy of spec file and when they rebase package they overwrite the migrated license tag. If you have such workflow, please check for the changes in dist-git first.
- legal documentations got several updates:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/update-existing-packages/#_licenseref_kde_accepted
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-review-process/ (note about funny licenses being treated seriously)
- kernel was documented as exception to BSD-3-Clause-Clear so kernel package is finally reported as OK.
- There are 3 packages in
Fedora with not-allowed license. Despite my reports and ping
they does not seems to have a plan. I plan to open FESCO issue
and retire these packages. For list of packages see tracking bug

List by package maintainers is here

Packages that are neither in SPDX nor in Callaway format (highest priority for now) - 31 packages:
https://pagure.io/copr/license-validate/blob/main/f/neither-nor-remaining-packagers.txt
Most of such packages has open issue in fedora-license-data. A
lot of them are waiting for SPDX to approved the license and
assign ID.
I released new version of fedora-license-data with 10 new license and bunch of public domain or ultra permissive findings.
6 licenses are waiting to be reviewed by SPDX.org (and then to be
added to fedora-license-data) https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/?label_name%5B%5D=SPDX%3A%3Ablocked
If your package does not have neither git-log entry nor spec-changelog entry mentioning SPDX and you know your license tag matches SPDX formula, you can put your package on ignore list

Either pull-request or direct email to me is fine.
