Well, sortof. The wording here is strange because you can get a different license from the CA issuer. We can't just pick a license, but the CA issuer might be willing to give us a different one. > Would it be worth getting in contact with CAcert.org in order to try > and have them allow us to redistribute the root certs under conditions > which are acceptable to the Fedora Project?

We are currently working on the project, openprops https://github.com/zanata/openprops/ Basically, it is just extension to .properties of OpenJDK, whose license is http://openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html their FSF address have not been updated What should we do for license file for openprops? Shall we copy the Openjdk license file as-is, or we just update the FSF address, or we can use our name in the "Classpath" Exception? The proposed diff is https://github.com/zanata/openprops/pull/1/files Regards, -- Ding-Yi Chen Software Engineer Globalization Group DID: +61 7 3514 8239 Email: dchen(a)redhat.com Red Hat, Asia-Pacific Pty Ltd Level 1, 193 North Quay Brisbane 4000 Office: +61 7 3514 8100 Fax: +61 7 3514 8199 Website: www.redhat.com Red Hat, Inc.
