#66: 4-clause BSD issue
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  myschizobuddy  |       Owner:  chitlesh 
     Type:  task           |      Status:  new      
 Priority:  minor          |   Milestone:  Fedora 13
Component:  FEL            |     Version:  devel    
 Keywords:  4-clause BSD   |  
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 There is a question by one of the opensource developers of NanoTCAD
 whether his code which is a 4-clause BSD is allowed to be packaged in FEL
 or not.

 I will contact Fedora-Legal and sort out this issue.
