I might be just awake, but this idea sparkles in my eyes with a "wow" |
| 8 |
subtitle. It is a great idea, and even though it has some rough edges (for |
| 9 |
instance we probably shouldn't accept all licenses per default -- you never |
| 10 |
know what the future might bring) and can be extended (kinda virtual-like, |
| 11 |
such as ACCEPT_LICENSES="freelicenses" which would embody all known free |
| 12 |
licenses) it is certainly something to consider. |

Is this the first time this popped up? If not, is there any progress into |
| 15 |
creating a draft patch? Or a GLEP? |
