I am not sure that is clear from just that sentence that this is FSFAP licensed ,especially for people consuming the full repo. AFAIK we require all our contributions to be under Apache-2.0 like the top level file suggests https://github.com/containers/container-libs/blob/main/image/LICENSE
I bring this up because I am not sure that this is compatible with podman/buildah/skopeo because the CNCF projects have specific rules on what licenses we are allowed to use https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/main/policies-guidance/allowed-third-party-license-policy.md#approved-licenses-for-allowlist
The FSFAP does not appear to be allowed and would require an exception which is a slow process so I rather not go that route.
It is your contribution so you do own your copyright and can decide but I think it would be much better if this could be relicensed under Apache-2 like the rest of our code base is.

it is probably possible to relicense it to Apache-2.0 (and keep the original notice as required), but would be easier if the author just do that so we don't need to guess or ask a lawyer. @ueno was this done during your your Red Hat working hours? Could you please relicense it to Apache-2.0? |

I can relicense it as "Apache-2.0 OR FSFAP" or "Apache-2.0 OR Unlicense". Would that work? |
I think that works. |
These wrapper files are generated using dlwrap, licensed under "Apache-2.0 OR FSFAP". Given myself is the sole author of the tool, and the generated files do not include any information derived from the original C headers, I'm adding copyright notice of myself.

Thank you!
@ueno could you, please, also commit the update to https://github.com/ueno/podman-sequoia , so that the two don’t get out of sync and we won’t have to worry about licensing if the interface of podman-sequoia is expanded in the future?
This propagate the license change of the generated C files from FSFAP to "Apache-2.0 OR FSFAP". See containers/container-libs#473 for details. Signed-off-by: Daiki Ueno <dueno@redhat.com>
