Hey all,

Since Creative Commons licenses are already coming up, how is the Creative 
Commons IGO license family classified in Fedora?

I didn't notice these licenses in the Licenses wiki page. They are distinctly 
different from other Creative Commons licenses and to the best of my knowledge, 
they are not superseded by the 4.0 family of Creative Commons licenses. I 
mention it here because if we are looking at other Creative Commons license 
families, it would be good to clarify how Fedora views the IGO family too. For 
context, some UN agencies are considering the IGO family of licenses as a 
default open source license for work created by public servants, so it isn't 
impossible to see CC IGO content working its way into Fedora at some point.

The key distinction made in the IGO licenses from other CC licenses is around 
mediation and arbitration for resolving legal disputes.
