Hi!

It appears that tango-icon-themes in Extras 

 http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/i386/repodata/repoview/tango-icon-theme-0-0.7.2-5.fc6.html
 
is licensed under the CC-BY-SA-2.5 license

 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/

According to

 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#head-76294f12c6b481792eb001ba9763d95e2792e825

CC-BY-SA-2.5 appears NOT to be a valid license. So either 

 1) the Packaging Guidelines needs to be fixed up;

 2) I'm not reading them right (in that case apologies for the noise);

 3) something else needs to happen

I'm writing this mail because I'm interested in CC-BY-SA-2.0 or later
being a valid license for Fedora but right now it doesn't appear that
way. Thanks.

    David
