CC BY-ND is acceptable under that same policy. The only restriction imposed by the notice in the files the prohibition against modifcation: > Recipients of this document may copy, distribute, publish, or display this > document so long as this copyright notice, license and disclaimer are > retained with all copies of the document.

A search of this list's archives for "WSDL" only returns the message I'm replying to. I haven't yet been able to find external precedent. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ legal mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] 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/[email protected]
