- thenewnewguy 7y agoI (and I'm sure many others) would gladly take an option to provide a whitelist of acceptable licenses.
- correct_horse 7y agoI count 97 (https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical), but point taken. Maybe there should be an organized effort to make some sort of compatibility matrix for all the OSI licenses...
- andrey_utkin 7y agoGentoo's package management system has neat automatable way to handle package licenses. See https://www.gentoo.org/glep/glep-0023.html https://www.gentoo.org/glep/glep-0023.html
