Hi,

<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/Licenses/CLA> states:

'7. Should you wish to submit work that is not your original creation,
you may submit it to the Project separately from any Contribution,
identifying the complete details of its source and of any license or
other restriction (including, but not limited to, related patents,
trademarks, and license agreements) of which you are personally aware,
and conspicuously marking the work as "Submitted on behalf of a
third-party: [named here] ". '

Does this apply to fedorahosted projects as well? Does this mean I can
not use/copy+paste text from a public domain document (even if it is
cited) if it is going to be stored on fedorahosted?

Cheers.
