    [$] ClearlyDefined: Putting license information in one place

    Determining the license that any given package uses can be difficult, but it is essential in order to properly comply with that license and, thus, the developer's wishes. There is an enormous amount of "open source" software available these days that is not clearly licensed, which is where the ClearlyDefined project comes in. The project is collecting a curated list of packages, source location, and license information; some of that collection can be automated, but ClearlyDefined is targeting the community to provide curation in the form of cleanups and additions.

    Fedora 30 released
    Fedora Magazine has announced the
    release
    of Fedora 30. "Fedora Editions are targeted outputs geared toward specific “showcase” uses. Since we first started using this concept in the Fedora 21 release, the needs of the community have continued to evolve. As part of Fedora 30, we’re combining cloud and server into the Fedora Server edition. We’re bringing in Fedora CoreOS to replace Fedora Atomic Host as our container-focused deliverable in the Fedora 30 timeframe — stay tuned for that. The Fedora Workstation edition continues to focus on delivering the latest in open source desktop tools.

    Of course, we produce more than just the editions. Fedora Spins and Labs target a variety of audiences and use cases, including the Internet of Things. And, we haven’t forgotten our alternate architectures, ARM AArch64, Power, and S390x.
