Hi

This paves the way for Zimbra to be packaged for Fedora. Good to see
Yahoo responding to the concerns expressed earlier.


http://www.zimbra.com/forums/announcements/19581-license-5-0-7-foss.html

"Just wanted to provide a heads up that, in collaboration with legal
counsel for the Fedora Community and Red Hat, we have made a minor tweak
to the Yahoo! Public License (YPL), Version 1.0.


...

Our colleagues in the Fedora community were concerned that the old
version of 6.2 did not give licensees enough certainty that they could
keep exercising their license, even if they followed its requirements.
We thought this change was a reasonable request, and we were very
pleased that we were able to respond to the Fedora community in the way
they asked. Many thanks to our Fedora friends for their input"

Amazing! Hell yeah!

This is awesome, and as far as I was involved, a direct result from
talking to Zimbra on the Red Hat Summit, where we showed them the exact
same paragraph.


Thanks to Karsten Wade as well!

Many thanks as well to other fine Fedorans @redhat.com, Jennifer Venable
and Richard Fontana, who made clear the Fedora objections to the YPL.

This is a pretty bug deal really, is there anything we're doing to help
them out? I know they're doing the right thing but a lot of its been at
our request AFAIK, extending the favor would be a good thing.

I don't know if this would be considered a favor but someone from Fedora
India team is working on packaging Zimbra for Fedora/helping Zimbra
upstream with packaging.

If you have other ideas, let us know.

The ISV SIG has started the initiative to package Zimbra for Fedora, and
I'm making it my personal vendetta to get it into EPEL as well.


Kind regards,
