I suspect (although we will not actually know for some time) that upstreams that used CC0 will be willing to (at least) consider a change of license once the concerns in the greater FOSS community are communicated to them. Realistically, we may also want to continue to allow CC0 covered code for a short period of time for new packages that are just getting into Fedora until some percolating has happened in those upstream communities (with the requirement that the packager inform the upstream about the need for a license change moving forward, and the removal after some period of time?). The question, therefore, is time-frame for no more new pacakges (F38?) and when existing packages (without an approved exception) must be removed (F41?). Those are, of course, totally made up targets, but we need some straw dates to see what the push-back will be in the real world. _______________________________________________ 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] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
