License of man/setproctitle.3bsd
As of writing, the license of man/setproctitle.3bsd seems to be kind of problematic for Red Hat Legal. Note, I am a volunteer Fedora Project contributor, not a Red Hat employee (nor a lawyer).
My goal is to have the latest release of libbsd in Fedora and EPEL, for which I packaged libmd recently. While preparing the libbsd package update technically, I stumbled over licenses in libbsd not (yet) being allowed for Fedora, since Fedora decided to switch to SPDX as license identifier in the package metadata.
The case of man/setproctitle.3bsd
lead to:
- https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/73
- https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/issues/1629
Given I don't like downstream-only solutions (like shipping a custom tarball for each libbsd release), I would like to get this issue sorted out on upstream side. Personally, I am not sure what a good upstream solution could be other than relicensing (which might get too tricky) or switching to another setproctitle(3) man page, e.g. from OpenBSD.
In general, I would like to see some link between you as upstream and Red Hat Legal (covering legal activities of the Fedora Project) in order to get this properly sorted out on upstream side - thank you.
