Fedora Legal Resources (original) (raw)

This documentation covers various Fedora policies, guidelines and other information pertaining to licensing and other legal issues.

Fedora Licensing Policies

| | If you have a question about whether a specific license is allowed for Fedora, it is usually preferable to submit an issue at theFedora License Data project rather than ask about it on the legal list. | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| | If you have a legal question relating to a specific Fedora package (other than the allowability of a particular license), it is usually preferable to raise the question in aBugzilla ticket rather than ask about it on the legal list. | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

FE-Legal is a Bugzilla tracker bug. If a package review ticket is blocked by FE-Legal, this means that the person who set the block believes that the package raises an issue under Fedora licensing guidelines or other aspects of Fedora’s legal policies.

Package reviews blocked byFE-Legal cannot be approved until the block is officially lifted.
