It helps packagers figure out whether something can be brought into Fedora, it helps upstream developers figure out what they can work with, and so on. Fedora is considered the practical authority on FOSS licensing alongside Debian, and that's because Tom did a great job with legal outreach on behalf of Fedora. People use Fedora guidance to make decisions. Removing that information is an abdication of that responsibility and the leadership Fedora has held for decades. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
