Fedora 12 (Constantine)

The Fedora Project and IPv6

The top news of the week was the Fedora Project and IPv6 by Fedora Infrastructure Lead and project coordiantor Mike McGrath. Mike had announced [1] that as part of the constant effort toward supporting current and future standards, major segments of fedoraproject.org and the Fedora Project infrastructure now support IPv6. He also mentioned, "our self-hosted websites have already been converted, and we plan to include IPv6 GeoIP support in MirrorManager soon."

Mike extended special thanks to Matt Domsch from Dell and our friends at ibiblio.org for their invaluable assistance on behalf of the Fedora Project.

Licensing policy for apps developed by Fedora Infrastructure now in effect

Toshio Kuratomi on Development-Announcement announced,[1] "Over the past few months, Fedora Infrastructure has been discussing having a consistent set of licenses for applications and scripts we create for Fedora." On his specific details, he informed everyone about the the goals of doing this, the basics, the uses of GPLv2 or later.

"The one other thing for Infrastructure developers and System Admins to note in the Policy is the section on handling AGPLv3 applications. During the discussions about whether to use AGPLv3+ for our web applications we found and delimited many issues that need to be addressed when deploying AGPLv3+ licensed code. The aGPL portion of the policy is our first attempt at keeping us compliant with any code that is under this license.", highlighted by Toshio.
