Description
Problem
Currently there is only a License Tag for "Non-Commercial use only" in DejaCode, usually used with a category such as Proprietary Free or Source-available, and there is no equivalent attribute at all in the LicenseDB. I bring this up because I observed that other community projects have defined a License Group (equivalent to our License Category) of “Non-Commercial” and use that in license policy management.
There are currently 164 licenses defined in DejaCode that have non-commercial usage restrictions.
Benefits
Enable clear identification of Non-Commercial licenses in the LicenseDB and simplify/clarify license management in DejaCode.
Solution
- Define a new License Category = "Non-Commercial" and a definition something like
"The license text prohibits any commercial usage of the associated software." - Upgrade the licenses in both DejaCode and ScanCode/LicenseDB.
Additional notes
This enhancement will support new policy management functionality.
