Some licenses are unchecked

[mmurto]

Some of the licenses contain a property:unchecked tag:

This means that the categorizations for those licenses is not fully completed yet. All the unchecked licenses should be checked, the categorization for them adjusted if necessary and the property:unchecked tag removed.

May be worth a mention: We're building a CSV sorting reciprocality here (we'll convert it to JSON later this month).

We need this for a meta knowledge base for open source hardware, hence our list also includes hardware-specific licenses.

We may want to merge efforts here :)

Apart form that, there may be also information available from the GitHub API that could help you filling the list (see comment here)

We have a couple of useful links that we used to fill our list. If you like, I could collect them together and post a list here

Hi @moedn 👋

Absolutely interesting in the links! 🤓 What we're aiming to do here is to maybe use information from different sources as a starting point, but in the end all of our classifications should be manually checked by us. The project is run by @hhpartners law firm, so this is an area where we can contribute well. :)

For your uses, what would you need from our database for you to use it for your meta knowledge base? Probably at least classifications for the hardware specific licenses. What's the field like with those, are there large amounts of the licenses that you usually encounter?
