Newer fedora-backgrounds use this newer version of FAL license: https://github.com/fedoradesign/backgrounds/commit/e5c006ca133a9f96e4b3a1bc062ac7d05cc3536b I was wondering about if we could get this added and also about naming it simply FAL-1.3 instead of FreeArt-1.3 Thanks for your help!
I don't see it in the lists from OSI or SPDX (so especially, it doesn't have an SPDX license identifier). The FSF has it, which means that we can add it to @FSF-APPROVED-OTHER: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#FreeArt About the name, it's FreeArt in the FSF's list, and the file name is Free-Art-1.3 in the Fedora commit you referenced. Plus, Fedora uses "Free Art" as short name: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Good_Licenses So, I'd suggest that we go for Free-Art-1.3, and rename FreeArt to Free-Art-1.2.
I just see that it has an SPDX identifier, namely LAL-1.3: https://spdx.org/licenses/LAL-1.3.html Makes me wonder if we should also add the French text, because that's authoritative.
I don't know much about licenses :( I would then simply rely on RedHat people for "legal" stuff and provide the same file they are using for Fedora wallpapers: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fedoradesign/backgrounds/master/Free-Art-1.3

Then, what option do you prefer for me to commit? I don't care about the name or append French text too :/ Thanks
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #4) I'd go for "Free-Art-1.3". No strong opinion about the French text.

(In reply to Ulrich Müller from comment #1) > ... and rename FreeArt to Free-Art-1.2. Reopening. We've missed the renaming part (and it went under my radar for some reason).
So, I went through the list of ebuilds with LICENSE="FreeArt". These should be Free-Art-1.3, not FreeArt: media-gfx/flameshot-0.6.0 media-gfx/flameshot-0.9.0 games-rpg/freedink-data-1.08.20140901-r1 games-rpg/freedink-data-1.08.20170409 Which leaves the following for renaming: games-puzzle/amoebax-0.2.1-r1 games-puzzle/pipepanic-0.1.3-r2 games-sports/torcs-1.3.6-r1 That 2 out of 5 packages got it wrong may indicate that the current situation is confusing. https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/20802
