Create a New Fedora Acceptable Use Policy

    • rhel-cle-nucleus

      1. Summary

      We need to create a new Fedora Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) to serve as the Terms and Conditions for our Matrix server and potentially other services.

      1. Background

      We received a notification from our Element Matrix Services (EMS) provider about an upcoming migration to a new authentication system. This will finally unblock Element X client use for `fedora.im` Matrix accounts. This migration, planned for June or early July, requires us to provide a URL for our Terms and Conditions, as the provider can no longer host our custom terms. This presents an opportunity to establish a formal AUP for Fedora-hosted services, starting with Matrix.

      1. Details

      To proceed with the server migration, we must create and host our own Terms and Conditions. The proposed course of action is to:

      1. *Draft a new Fedora Acceptable Use Policy*: This document will define the terms of use for the Fedora Matrix service.
      2. *Ensure Compliance*: The new AUP must be compliant with the existing [Fedora Privacy Policy](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/privacy/).
      3. *Get Council Support*: Members of the Fedora Council need to support the drafting and approval process for this new policy by Red Hat Legal.
      4. *Host and Implement*: Once finalized, the AUP will be hosted with Fedora's legal docs, and the URL will be provided to EMS to unblock the Matrix migration.

      1. Outcome

      A new, Council-approved Acceptable Use Policy for the Fedora Matrix server will be created and implemented, ensuring compliance and allowing the critical server migration to proceed.
