Add the LGPL to the list of possible asset licenses #171

Closed Calinou closed 5 years ago

We should move to SPDX identifiers for the GPL/LGPL/AGPL eventually, but that will likely require a database migration.

This closes #170.

Thanks!

I would not recommend to include any copyleft (including GPL family) licenses. Sooner or later it will introduce massive legal problems and possibly split our community. If you don't know what problems I'm talking about, then please get some legal counsel. I know it costs, but it'll be cheaper than the consequences. There are other licenses with possible legal trouble, like cc0, but for different reasons. Please take this under consideration, Thanks.

@5N08 Some authors prefer releasing assets under copyleft licenses because they don't want them to be used in proprietary software, which is a decision we respect. It's the user's responsibility to check the license to make sure they're allowed to use the asset in question.

@Calinou Good answer. Thanks.
