Certain license classifiers incorrectly claim OSI approval status #183

Closed richardfontana closed 2 months ago

richardfontana commented 3 months ago

The following license classifiers incorrectly claim Open Source Initiative (OSI) approval status:

"License :: OSI Approved :: European Union Public Licence 1.0 (EUPL 1.0)"

"License :: OSI Approved :: GNU Free Documentation License (FDL)"

There may be others but those were the ones I quickly caught. In several additional cases, a license classifier claims OSI approval where the license classifier is ambiguous (typically because it can refer plausibly to more than one license associated with a name, and where one version of a license may have been OSI approved but not an earlier version).

I suppose the existence of problems of this sort might justify use of SPDX identifiers as I understand is called for in https://peps.python.org/pep-0639/ and indeed the issue of ambiguous license classifiers is noted in that PEP.
