If I could only spend all my karma on upvotes for this, I would. I regularly look at various projects that I can use. And the first thing I check is whether the license is MIT/BSD/Apache/EPL. If it's GPL I won't even look at it, if it's LGPL I might consider it, but it would have to bring huge benefits. If there is no license, I have to contact the author and ask him to include one. I'd love to be able to just set a filter "never show me any projects which do not have a license in my preferred set". Please note that I am not editorializing here, nor am I discussing any values. This post is about facts and about what would make my life easier.
