As I've been working on converting license tags to SPDX, I have found myself frequently needing to determine the license for some file that is not distributed by the package upstream, such as JavaScript and CSS files copied in by documentation builders, or header files from header-only packages. To avoid figuring out the same license over and over, I started taking notes. Over the past few days, I've been tidying up my notes for consumption by someone other than me. Here they are:
https://jamezone.org/pleasure/software/Fedora/license/ I hope this will be useful for some of you. Notes on the notes: 1. The Computer Modern font license is "Knuth", but that is the old license name. There is an open issue to determine how to submit that license to SPDX: https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/18 It is unfortunate that this affects Computer Modern, which is the default font used by TeX; it is likely that a very high percentage of PDF files generated by TeX have these fonts embedded in them. 2. If you analyze anything on the list, please send me an email to tell me if you came to the same conclusions about licenses. If you did, I will update the page to note that a 2nd party verified the analysis. If you did not, tell me how your analysis disagrees. 3. If you have similar notes for packages I don't have on the list, let's combine our notes. This list should ultimately live on a Fedora-managed web page. Right now it is still fairly incomplete. 4. Packages I hope to analyze soon: various Sphinx extensions, GAPDoc, and hevea. 5. Having my face peeking at me from the top of all of my web pages is starting to creep me out. I need to find another picture.
