Hi,
During a conversion of licenses in Fedora repositories to SPDX licenses, we 
have encountered several issues regarding the licensing and packaging a few of 
the files present in the docbook5-style-xsl and docbook5-schemas packages. [1]



What is the license for the Perl script "db4-entities.pl" 
("docbook-5.0/tools/db4-entities.pl")?

We are unsure under which license is the "howto" documentation ("DocBook V5.0: 
The Transition Guide") distributed. What is the license for these files?

We found several JAR files. Can you explain their purpose in the repository? If 
they are required for some DocBook extensions, please assist us in compiling 
them, as we cannot package ".jar" files in Fedora, because guidelines prevent 
us from packaging binaries.

extensions/xalan27.jar

extensions/saxon65.jar

extensions/lucene-core-3.0.0.jar

extensions/tagsoup-1.2.1.jar

extensions/webhelpindexer.jar

tools/lib/xercesImpl.jar



Clarification on the licensing and purpose of these files

We need all the aforementioned points clarified to ensure that the DocBook is 
packaged in new Fedora versions correctly. There are some licenses that are not 
allowed in Fedora, and also we can not ship binaries in case of the .jar files.


Also, I found this email [email protected] that might be more 
suited for this question, but I was not sure, so forum post might be better 
first step. If it would be possible to clarify whether I should ask this 
question by messaging that e-mail address, it would really help.
