[Fedora-legal-list] Do we need to remove proprietary code from previous releases?
Recently I took over the orphaned package libzzub in F-10 and devel. I found that the upstream renamed the package to armstrong, so I opened a review request for armstrong and it just got approved. But whenever I was packaging armstrong, I found that the source tarball contains some MS propriatary code. This code does not get compiled into the final binary RPM but I removed it from the tarball when I created the SRPM. libzzub is now going through the PackageEndOfLife process and will be removed from F-10 and devel soon. The thing is, the old package libzzub that is in F-7, F-8 and F-9 still has this code in the SRPM. How shall we proceed in this case? Orcan PS: Specifically, the directory src/rtaudio/include needs to be removed from the libzzub tarball. ___ Fedora-legal-list mailing list Fedora-legal-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legal-list

How shall we proceed in this case? Push updates for any non EOL branches without the proprietary gunk. In this case, F-9, since F-10 and devel are being taken care of by armstrong. ~spot ___ Fedora-legal-list mailing list Fedora-legal-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legal-list
