Dear all,
I am the upstream developer of Orthanc, an open-source DICOM server [1]. Yesterday, I submitted a first version of a Fedora package for Orthanc [2].
As pointed out by Antonio Trande [3], Orthanc is licensed under the GPLv3 license with the OpenSSL exception [1]. This is because Orthanc supports SSL encryption for its Web/REST interface for securing the communications [4]. Unfortunately, I do not see the GPLv3 + OpenSSL exception in the licenses that are supported by Fedora [5].
Could someone indicate me how I can take this issue into consideration for the Orthanc Fedora packaging?
I thank you much in advance!
Regards, Sébastien Jodogne-

GPLv3 + the OpenSSL exception is fine for Fedora. Just mark the package as:
License: GPLv3 with exceptions
Thanks,
