1 Hi,
2 There are several licenses in @OSI-APPROVED that the FSF explicitly
3 lists as nonfree, namely Artistic, NOSA, and Watcom-1.0.
4
5 I wonder if we should introduce an FSF-NONFREE group which would
6 contain either all licenses from [1], or only the conflicting ones.
7 Then users could set their ACCEPT_LICENSES variable to e.g.
8 "-* @FREE -@FSF-NONFREE" in order to avoid software released under
9 such licenses.

11 Opinions?
