License clarification about the project

[LecrisUT]

Hi folks, I would like to get some clarification on the license state of this project following the discussion over at Fedora ¹. The question is what is the license of the built wheel and does it depend on the build environment? The setup is that cuda-toolkit is only imported at build time and later the package is dependent on dynamically from rpmfusion.

Some points:

• The python metadata is APACHE-2.0 (or at least after 18f9bb5) ²
• Does the license correctly reflect the compiled wheel state, e.g. if we build the same sdist ³ would it still be APACHE-2.0?
• Are there other legal considerations that we should consider in how the copr repo is setup? Would some different legal notices or such be needed when pulling in the dependency?
• Are there some special things to consider for other packages that link to cuda-toolkit, either as:
  • Depending directly on cuda-python without build dependencies on cuda-toolkit
  • Other packages that do use cuda-toolkit at build time

This would also clarify how some other projects are consuming cuda-toolkit and if something should be done on copr with those as well. So would appreciate the broader picture here as well.
