Hello.
Recently I've downloaded the primary.xml for F28 and ran a check comparing the licences of packages in the repo against good licences listed on the Licensing wiki page. There are a couple licences that are used by a few packages, but I couldn't find them on the wiki page. It might be good to review these licences and add them to the wiki page, or ask maintainers to change the package License: tags in case the licence is already listed, but under a different identifier.
- Array (used by gcin) - BSL-1.0 (used by ceph, librados2 and others) - Freely redistributable without restriction (used by alienarena-data, beneath-a-steel-sky and others) - PDDL-1.0 (used by python-nibabel)
There's also some packages with typos in their licence strings; I've submitted bug reports for those packages.
A.I.

Eh, I don't know what this is.

This is the SPDX identifier for the Boost license. Ceph packaging in Fedora follows openSUSE packaging guidelines.
- Freely redistributable without restriction (used by alienarena-data,
beneath-a-steel-sky and others)
This was a phrase that was documented at some point for game data, I think?
- PDDL-1.0 (used by python-nibabel)
This is the SPDX identifier for Public Domain & Dedication License: https://spdx.org/licenses/PDDL-1.0.html

I've seen this packaqe a while ago and had to search the license too. Array is https://web.archive.org/web/20170821225607/http://www.array.com.tw:80/compan... array_license.pdf
The company and license seems defunct.

Added.

As much as I value consistency, I am not going to cause a fuss over the use of the SPDX identifier here.
- Freely redistributable without restriction (used by alienarena-data, beneath-a-steel-sky and others)
This is only kosher for content, but that is how it is being used.
- PDDL-1.0 (used by python-nibabel)
Added.
