[jira] [Created] (LEGAL-130) Handling of permissive licenses that
are very similar to MIT/BSD/ASL/etc.
Handling of permissive licenses that are very similar to MIT/BSD/ASL/etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LEGAL-130
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-130
Project: Legal Discuss
Issue Type: Question
Reporter: Herbert Duerr
A lot of organizations and developers provide their source under permissive licenses that are not 100% copies of the licenses approved in category A.
Examples of typical cases can be seen in
http://www.math.washington.edu/tex-archive/fonts/utilities/mm/parseAFM.h
http://opensource.apple.com/source/X11/X11-0.40/xc/lib/Xrender/Xrender.h
https://github.com/martinkahr/apple_remote_control/blob/master/AppleRemote.h
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=sane/sane-backends.git;a=blob;f=include/sane/sane.h;hb=HEAD
http://www.twain.org/license.shtm
...
How should one handle them? Submit a JIRA issue for each file with a license that is 100% identical to the ones already categorized or are there general rules to auto-categorize them?
