Currently tl2rpm utility which converts upstream metadata + CTAN archives to RPM reports packages with problematic licenses. The criterion is based on the upstream metadata which turned out to not to be too precise. In any case these package will not be in Fedora for sure due to its licensing: L: amsmath-it - No Info L: ascii-chart - No Info L: borceux - No Info L: breakcites - No Info L: eiad - No Info L: floatflt - Other L: formlett - No Info L: germbib - No Info L: getoptk - No Source L: cherokee - No Info L: mkjobtexmf - Artistic L: mp3d - No Info L: mxedruli - No Info L: nature - No Info L: oubraces - No Info L: plain-doc - No Info L: sphack - Other L: subsupscripts - No Info L: texdiff - Artistic L: texdirflatten - Artistic I keep all, even the legally problematic packages, in the repository for now.
