Beware that - leaving sponsorship aside - becoming an EPEL maintainer implies accepting the Fedora EULA. I know of people who refused to /could not become Fedora contributors because they could/would not accept that license.


I don't know of a Fedora EULA (which would be an End User License Agreement). There is a Fedora Contributor Agreement which replaced a different one (Fedora ICLA) which did have the stigma you listed above .

Most of these rules seem to be common sense ones..
