Humm, not so sure. |

I think we need some categories, so each user can choose from predefined |
| 14 |
sets. |
| 15 |
I propose : FSF_APPROVED_GPL_COMPAT, FSF_APPROVED_NOT_GPL_COMPAT, |
| 16 |
OSI_APPROVED, GENTOO_APPROVED_FREE_SOFTWARE, NON_FREE, |
| 17 |
NON_FREE_ASK_INTERACTIVE |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I started to fill the first 2. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
FSF_APPROVED_GPL_COMPAT="LGPL-2.1 LGPL-2 GPL-1 GPL-2 BSD MIT X11 as-is |
| 22 |
public-domain ZLIB W3C Sleepycat OPENLDAP PYTHON Clarified-Artistic |
| 23 |
Artistic-2 ZPL vim" |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
FSF_APPROVED_NOT_GPL_COMPAT="Academic OpenSoftware Apache-1.1 IPL |
| 26 |
CPL-1.0 MPL SPL NPL-1 SISSL QPL-1.0 FTL PHP PLAN9 Apple" |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The FSF_APPROVED_NOT_GPL_COMPAT certainly needs some further check, as |
| 29 |
(for example) I'm confused by the many Sun's licenses. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I noticed that IBM and IPL licenses seems to be the same (name and |
| 32 |
version). I used IPL as for searching with my tools, IBM confuse with |
| 33 |
IBM-ILNWP, a clearly non-free license. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
With these variables, I also checked all the ebuilds. |
| 36 |
Out of 11932 ebuild, 9584 are GPL_COMPAT, roughly 80% |
| 37 |
234 are GPL_INCOMPAT, that makes 9% of the remaining ebuilds. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
That lets 2114 ebuilds and 266 licences we still have to check. Does |
| 40 |
someone wants to continue the minute check ? |

This software said it requires Win95 or better, so I installed Linux. |
