-This list is colloquially known as the *Category X* list. Further discussion of disallowed licenses:
-

-: Oracle's (originally Sun's) range of Binary Code License fall far short of the Open Source Definition, thereby violating the first criterion for license approval.
-
-GNU GPL/GNU Affero GPL
-: Discussion of [Apache License v2.0 and GPL Compatibility](http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html) merits a separate page.
-
-GNU LGPL
-: The LGPL is ineligible primarily due to the restrictions it places on larger works,
- violating the third license criterion.
-
-Special exceptions to the GNU GPL
-: Some copyright holders have licensed their works under the GPL with
- special exceptions. Although these exceptions may appear to be
- addressing the restrictions disallowed by the ASF's first and second
- license criteria, the exceptions may only apply to software not
- "derived from or based on" the covered work. This references terms
- defined in the GPL that include works that "use" or "contain" the
- work.
-
-CPOL
-: Due to restrictions (see 5.d and 5.f), falls short of the Open Source

-
-Field of use restrictions
-: Some licenses restrict the uses to which software licensed under them may be used.
- Two examples that limit use to company platforms are the Microsoft Limited Public
- License and the Amazon Software License.
-
-Non-commercial licenses
-: Another form of limitation on field of use is a non-commercial license.
- Common examples are the range of Creative Commons licenses with the
- Non-Commercial (NC) clauses included.
