#462 font packages relicensing for adding metainfo file
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by pnemade.

Hi,
I am working on fixing font packages for adding metainfo files as asked in http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2014/10/15/gnome-software-and-fonts/

I want to know if its okay to relicense all font package tags to add say "and CC-BY" in license tag. This value can be any of 5 permissible licenses as given in http://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html#sect-Metadata-GenericComponent.


Precedent for this would likely be the licensing in the AppData files: https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/414#comment:14

The end result there was that the appinfo files would need to allow the files to be licensed with the upstream code licenses rather than us licensing appdata files.

Thank you Toshio for your quick response. Let me close this as I got the required information in ticket 414.
