You can't blame the users for using the field. The presence of the
'license' field in PKBUILD.proto from abs suggests it has to be filled
in. It totally makes no sense to have this field if you're not supposed
to fill it in.

And therefore I consistently started using in license="GPL" in most of
my PKGBUILDS. Nowhere did it say I was doing something against 'the
rules'.

As a user I've yet to see any form of packaging guidelines. If you want
users to follow this stuff, start making it easy for them...

Best regards,


Hugo
