hello Debian legal folks, I'm looking for an up-to-date compatibility matrix of /usr/share/common-licenses (modulo documentation licenses). I've recently taken over the Debian-native package adequate, which among other things checks for binaries that link in libraries that are available under an incompatible license, and its compatibility logic is rather outdated.
based on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Floss-license-slide-image.svg https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility I've prepared the following, where the license before the colon may be combined with any common license *except* the ones listed right of the colon. do you see any mistakes? have I missed anything? Apache-2.0: Artistic: BSD: GPL-2: GPL-3, MPL-1.1 GPL-2+: MPL-1.1 GPL-3: GPL-2, MPL-1.1 LGPL-2: MPL-1.1 LGPL-2.1: MPL-1.1 LGPL-3: MPL-1.1 MPL-1.1: GPL-2, GPL-2+, GPL-3, LGPL-2+, LGPL-2.1, LGPL-3 MPL-2.0: OpenSSL: (GPL licenses ommitted here due to https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#SystemLibraryException) thanks, Serafeim
