A while ago I noticed that a Debian package has some useful patches for some package and some of these patches are required to update the Fedora package. I was wondering if there is a summary about licensing of Debian patches and if it is acceptable just to copy Debian's patches into Fedora (with proper credit of course) [1].
fs [1] I think the patches itself are fine to ship also considering the Fedora upstream-first policy: - patches have been submitted in the official issue tracker - upstream project is pretty inactive but not dead - patches are fairly small, mostly build-system changes for distributions and fixing the test suite -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
