I'm just wondering whether you check your own packages for this. Just looking at the list of your fedora packages, these are registered trademarks, according to my quick search: inventor, gts, rt3 (sorry I don't have the time to do a full search for all your packages). So that makes me puzzled - why don't you apply these checks to your own packages?

The package says that it helps to convert specfiles to be SCL/software collections-ready. Googling for Software Collections, first page gives you a detailed guide on docs.fedoraproject.org. I believe I can add a link to the two sites mentioned above into the readme for users who don't like googling :) But please don't tell me there is no information about SCLs. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
