If I may add my two cents, I would go for GPL for PKGBUILDs, as it ensures stuff remains OSS. Though some broader discussion/voting may be good. And a compromise in form of selection from OSS licences when uploading, defaulting to one could not be that hard to implement.
Again, IANAL. AIUI a PKGBUILD is just a plugin module to makepkg, and PKGBUILDs do use the API offered by makepkg and other support scripts. So maybe this discussion is void simply because makepkg is released under GPL2 (or later) and hence PKGBUILDs automatically fall under the same license? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
