Hot news:
- During review of packages with PublicDomain or Freely-Redistributable we discovered that the license is not in
compliance with Fedora Linux. So several packages has to be removed from Fedora. E.g. libva-intel-hybrid-driver or
several scumvm games. For more details see this tracking bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2310597
- Several packages during rebase used incorrect license id. If you are unsure if your license is correct, use
`license-validate` tool. I think it is maybe about time to use it as standard test for every PR at
src.fedoraproject.org. If you have objection or you want to help with that, please contact me.
- I have 30 PRs open with update of license tags against various packages. If you review and merge them you make my life
easier.
Two weeks ago we had:
* 24291spec files in Fedora
* 30947license tags in all spec files
* 404 tags are not SPDX complient (number from line bellow minus packages with
LicenseRef-Callaway-*)
* 2726 tags have not been converted to SPDX yet (drop by 2k+ because I do not caunt
"valid as old and new")
* 111 tags can be trivially converted using `license-fedora2spdx`
* Progress: 98,69% ░░░░░░░░░█100%
ELN subset:
68 out of 1945 packages are not converted yet (progress 96.50%)
Today we have:
* 24311spec files in Fedora

* 2658 tags have not been converted to SPDX yet
* 86 tags can be trivially converted using `license-fedora2spdx`
* Progress: 98,84% ░░░░░░░░░█100%
ELN subset:
68 out of 2310 packages are not converted yet (progress 97.06%)

The list of packages needed to be converted is here:

List by package maintainers is here

Packages that are neither in SPDX nor in Callaway format (highest priority for
now) - 80 packages:

New version of fedora-license-data has been released. With:
6 new licenses and lots of public domain dedications
12 licenses are waiting to be reviewed by SPDX.org (and then to be added to fedora-license-data)
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/?label_name%5B%5D=SPDX%3A%3Ablocked
Legal docs and especially
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/
was updated too.
New projection when we will be finished is 2024-11-17 (+12 days from last
report). Pure linear approximation.
If your package does not have neither git-log entry nor spec-changelog entry mentioning SPDX and you know your license
tag matches SPDX formula, you can put your package on ignore list

Either pull-request or direct email to me is fine.
