Not quite sure what you suggest. It looks like you suggest to duplicate the work of SPDX - see e.g. https://github.com/spdx/license-list I believe that in the long term such duplication of work is not helpful, and instead we should support SPDX in being the curators of a single canonical repository of common Free licensing patterns in active use. That said, I do believe that short-term some degree of competition does help - when coordinated with SPDX. Anyone interested in that please join the licenses-discuss mailinglist: https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/licenses-discuss - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
