Texts contributed are licensed under the terms of the Open Publication License v1.0 without options, except where otherwise noted. All other content is not licensed for copying or redistribution, except where otherwise noted.
CSS and Layout Code
Layout and CSS code for the Fedora websites is offered under a free software license notated in each individual file. You are permitted to use this code on your own sites, but you may not use this code in conjunction with any other Fedora trademarks, as set out in the trademark guidelines.
Documentation
All texts from formal Fedora documentation are licensed under the terms of the Open Publication License v1.0 without options. See the Fedora Documentation Licensing FAQ for more information.
The Contributor License Agreement
The purpose of the Contributor License Agreement (CLA) is to establish copyright control under Red Hat, Inc. on behalf of the Fedora Project. By having a single entity hold copyright:
- It is easier to be more nimble with future relicensing needs
- That one incorporated entity can handle being sued
- The project can act singularly on the behalf of all the code and documentation without having to make costly and lengthy research into responses from every copyright holder
All individual contributors to the Fedora Project are required to agree to the Individual Contributor License Agreement and all of their contributions are subject to it.
The Fedora Project Individual Contributor License Agreement
There are degrees of trust associated with the method one agrees to the CLA. Use the CLA Acceptance Hierarchies to figure out what method of agreement matches the type of contribution.
