I don't know if this is a rehash of an old topic, but it hasn't come up in a while so I want to stir the pot. We need some standardization when it comes to licenses, which are still not in all of the official packages. (OpenSSH is missing one!)
Well this thread died a while back, but I thought I'd present these not so wonderful statistics: packages in current: 572 w/ license: 50 w/o license: 522 packages in extra: 2114 w/ license: 532 w/o license: 1582 packages in community: 1306 w/ license: 827 w/o license: 479 You would think devs would be leading the way, but that seems to be quite false. Community and the TUs are doing way better here. The quick script I used to find these numbers: $ cat checklicense.sh buildfiles=$(find -name PKGBUILD) for file in $buildfiles; do unset license source $file if [ -z $license ]; then echo "$file" fi done -Dan
