1 A small thought about all this license default stuff.
2 I think it should accept everything by default which doesn't
3 ask the user to accept something on first launch or installer
4 start. This is mostly everything which comes as source or in
5 normal .tar.gz archives. The reason is that with this kind of
6 software the user has to unpack everything anyway to read the
7 LICENSE file or the README.
8 In reality this are mostly games or "big" commercial apps.
9 That's ok because those arent that many. What i would hate to
10 see is that the user needs to accept licenses for stuff like djb
11 ware (no i'm no fan of it it's just an example).
