As distasteful as I find such things, there is nothing in the Copr rules that prohibit such hacks, as long as the items they link to are being legally provided by the third-party source, and the terms of their licensing do not forbid third-part linking (I can't imagine why any would, but...). For example, you can't have a package that just runs wget to download an mp3 implementation without a patent license, for the same reasons that the mp3 implementation itself is not permissible for Copr. I would personally be very supportive of FESCo adopting the restriction on prohibiting Copr packages which are only useful with external non-free or legally restricted items, but that's a FESCo issue, not a Fedora Legal one. ~tom == Red Hat _______________________________________________ legal mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
