"Unlimited" ## B. "file LICENSE" or "file LICENCE" ## C. A specification based on the R license db ## * A standard short specification (SSS field) ## * The name or abbreviation of an unversioned license ## * The name of abbreviation of a versioned license, optionally ## followed by a version spec ## * The name of a versioned license followed by the version ## * The abbrevation of a versioned license combined with '-', ## optionally followed by an extension spec as in B (in principle, ## only if the base license is extensible). ## ## A license spec is standardizable if we know to transform it to ## standardized form. ## ## Note that the R license db also contains non-FOSS licenses, and hence ## information (FOSS field) on the FOSS status of the licenses. ## Ideally, a license taken as FOSS would be approved as free by the FSF ## and as open by the OSI: we also take licenses as FOSS when approved ## by the FSF (and not rejected by the OSI). ## ## See ## https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html ## https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical ## fot the FSF and OSI license lists, and also ##
