I agree. Although the question still remains what constitutes a popular license – does a non-FOSS license that is also not used by any substantial number of projects, but is used by a very popular project qualify? We have included more-or-less-single-but-very-popular-project FOSS licenses in the past (Python, PHP, JSON, …), but those are most often licenses for a whole ecosystem, as these tend to be languages or similar. I wonder where to draw the line, because if we go down the road of “how likely am I to bump into this license”, we’re going in the direction of proprietary licenses for specific, but super popular products like e.g. Java EE or OracleDB (not picking on Oracle specifically, it is just the first two big pieces of software things that pop to mind). If I’m being super-cheeky, I wonder how much further before I can suggest adding the Liferay Enterprise Subscription license ;) cheers, Matija -- gsm: tel:+386.41.849.552 www: https://matija.suklje.name xmpp: matija.suk...@gabbler.org sip: matija_suk...@ippi.fr -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
