Hack Open Font License
by Randy Barlow 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Hello! I am interested in packaging the Hack Font for Fedora, but I notice that it seems to have what may be a custom license: https://github.com/chrissimpkins/Hack/blob/master/LICENSE.md Is this license acceptable for Fedora?

Hi, Guidelines have statement about spec file License. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#License_of_Fedor… Shouldn't this be extended to Fedora specific patches ? (not upstreamable) Remi. P.S. I was asked about a patch license from another project wanting to reuse it, so I answer MIT per FPCA terms/

Guidelines for publishing container images
by Florian Weimer 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

Do we have some guidelines how to publish corresponding source code for container images? I suppose that if the container image repository supports image layering, it should be possible to publish a layer on top, with the SRPMs for the RPMs used to construct the container image in the file system, and put that image in roughly the same place (where users hopefully can find it). Thanks, Florian
