JPackage is a cross-distribution neutral ground. So its guidelines can not be approved only at the Fedora level without alienating non-Fedora JPP contributors. JPackage Fedora members can propose Fedora-oriented changes, and those changes can be then adopted as-is by the project (if other JPP players have no objection), but I don't think something Fedora-branded, Fedora-hosted, and with only FPC or FESCO control is going to fly.
Ok, I can see where that's coming from, but at this time, what are the guideline differences? Surely the "JPP" guidelines could just be a set of temporary exceptions from the Fedora guidelines until such time as they get rolled into the Fedora guidelines? JPackage wouldn't be the only ones making use of Fedora as an upstream for guidelines. I do believe multiple other distros are using our licensing guidelines either directly or as a cut/paste job.
