I think it would be a big improvement over the status quo, even if the only rule were dumb, simple equality: "Check whether all these packages use the exact same license."
Even just that would probably help most of the people most of the time? Mixing licenses, yeah I don't really know. I want to believe it would be possible to help people get an approximately better understanding. Maybe along the lines of: http://creativecommons.org/choose/ Of course yes that comes with a "no legal advice" disclaimer in section 4 of: http://creativecommons.org/terms Regardless, I think there's a lot of space between the extremes of ignorance and professional expertise. In that wide space, anything that increases comprehension or even minimal awareness is helpful, I think. But I realize anything behind a simple license equality check is beyond the scope of Racket, and is a job for some other organization. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Developers" group.
