Hi all, With the update to the regex-syntax crate package that I'm building right now, the license will change from "MIT OR Apache-2.0" to "(MIT OR Apache-2.0) AND Unicode-DFS-2016".
The project includes code that is derived from Unicode data files, and it already shipped a license text for the Unicode-DFS-2016 license for this reason - but the SPDX license string in upstream crate metadata doesn't reflect this fact. It also appears that the inclusion of the additional license file was made after the package was initially reviewed for Fedora, and as a result, previous versions of this package didn't include the Unicode license in its License tag. I have also opened an upstream discussion about this, since I believe that the upstream license specifier is wrong (i.e. missing " ... AND Unicode-DFS-2016"), but upstream developers don't appear convinced (even though similar changes were already made in equivalent cases for other Rust projects): https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/discussions/933 This change will probably have at least some "ripple effect" across Rust packages in Fedora once they are rebuilt against this new version, since basically everything depends on the "regex" crate (which depends on regex-syntax), either directly, or indirectly. I'm pretty sure that this package now has the the correct license tag (i.e. project has two parts: first part is dual-licensed "MIT OR Apache-2.0", second part is derived from Unicode data and is licensed "Unicode-DFS-2016", so the license tag should reflect *both* parts), but if I am wrong about this, please get my attention, so I can revert this change in a timely manner.
