Oh, and yet one notice: why all directories in /usr/share/licenses are capitalized (i.e. RUBY, APACHE)???
It all started with the GPL. There was GPL, BSD, ... APACHE should have been APL (I thought that's how I did it originally...).
Almost all of the licenses have a shortened form.
What do you suggest?
I feel like people understand GPL, LGPL, BSD just fine. But I would have no idea what APL was until you told me, that just isn't a common way to refer to it. The question is- what do people put in the license field when it is an Apache license? We should have consistancy there- a license name should be identical to the license reference.
Agreed. Jason
