Hi,
My stance has been that in order to be classified as common,
a license ought to be actually common -- say, a rule of thumb: be at
least used in 5% of the packages.
The rationale behind adding licenses to the common-licenses
category is to prevent excessive duplication of the license text, and
prevent useless waste of disk space; this saving in disk space is
supposed to offset the additional effort to determine what the
license is.
So, if there are at least 5% of the source packages (or
whatever number emrges from the debate that is sure to follow), we
can include the license into common license. A nice, objective
criteria for admission ;-)
