Hi, everyone
We also had a discussion in the Spanish forum about that issue
(https://trisquel.info/en/forum/propuesta-acerca-de-pypi). There is already
program that checks PyPI license information in Python called pypi-cli. You
can install it with pip.
sudo pip install pypi-cli
Apart from what mentioned onpon4, we should also take into account that a
free package may have non-free dependencies. Also, please use Python 3 for
new projects. You can for the license names Check this mixalis_t:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=list_classifiers
> You should talk to pip's developers about implementing this as a warning
I agree, that would be a great improvement.
If that's not possible we could make a simple fork of pip that checks the
license before installing any program to only let install free programs.
