  • change :free (closed source) to :gratis for clarity
  • add :freemium (eg Alfred)
  • add :lppl (LaTeX)
  • change :ubuntu to :ubuntu_font

WIP pending discussion here and/or in IRC. In particular, I think :free is a poor name, and would lead to confusion. After some discussion on IRC, these changes seem OK — good enough to move forward.

There will always be rough points. license is intended for search/filtering, not annotation. The most accurate information is always the distribution's home page.

In IRC, we also discussed whether all licenses under :closed should be eliminated in favor of just :closed. For the record, I am open to that, if licensing distinctions inspire a too much argument and absorb non-trivial maintainer time.

* change :free (closed-source) to :gratis for clarity
* add :freemium (eg Alfred)
* add :lppl (LaTeX)
* change :ubuntu to :ubuntu_font
