15 What about having some "snippet" licenses that could be amalgomated
16 as-needed for a package?
17
18 IE:
19 - -'as-is' would be the generic "as-is" statement
20 - -'free-non-commercial' would be a "free/unrestricted for
21 non-commercial use" statement
22 - -'free-unrestricted' would be a statement of more or less public domain
23
24 - -..etc...
25
26
27 ..and then ebuilds can include the particular phrases that apply? ie,
28 LICENSE="(as-is free-non-commercial)" , essentially an
29 'assemble-your-own-license' from the snippets.
