Adding to list of approved licenses #142

Closed prajectory closed 1 year ago

prajectory commented 2 years ago

We are collaborating with https://code.iadb.org/en IADB to cross reference products across the platforms - ensuring more visibility and support for DPG owners.

Most products in the IADB catalogue have an open license that's outside of the approved licenses by the DPGA.

The standard council needs to define:

  1. What are the boundaries of us changing our approved list of licenses?
  2. What are the qualifiers for adding licenses?
  3. Does it have to be approved like the core changes to the standard?

As mentioned in our recent meeting, please review our current license. https://github.com/EL-BID/Plantilla-de-repositorio/blob/master/LICENSE-en.md

Duplicating my reply to the now-closed #143 here as it seems relevant:

FWIW, it would seem prima facie that this license's limitation to "non-commercial" use would not pass the requirements in both the Open Source Definition (OSD6) and Free Software Definition (F0), were it to be submitted for inclusion in as an approved license on those lists. (I presume it has not yet been so reviewed by those groups.) -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

Since the DPGA will not be permitting use of "non-commercial" license, we will be closing this issue in sync with the definitions that are adopted by the DPG standard for "open source".
