Well, more than a day or two. The MIT license is fine to include, and we
have a pile of MIT-licensed code in-tree already.
Other already-in-tree MPL-2.0 compatible licenses - the "just do it" set,
basically - include Apache 2.0, BSD 2- and 3-clause, LGPL 2.1 and 3.0, GPL
3.0 and the Unicode Consortium's ICU.
Does "just do it" imply that it's now OK to import that stuff without
an analog of the previous r+ from Gerv?
I'm putting together a licensing runbook with Legal's help, and the aim
of that will be getting us to that point. As well, Glob is building some
logic into Phabricator to automate a bunch of this stuff on ingest as
well. Between those two things, the end goal will be both a document and
a documented process that will let us import stuff that's already
licensed acceptably without a round trip through legal or, and god help
us all if I ever become a rate-limiting factor on dev velocity here, me.
For right now, though, I think the right thing is to assume that my
understanding is incomplete, file the licensing bug, get the r+. I'll do
my best to get through them as soon as I see them.
