Other open source/Free license tag

Post by micheas » Thu Feb 28, 2008 8:07 pm

I have a problem with the Other open source/Free license tag being applied to zero cost proprietary software.

Almost all of the software that has a paid and zero cost version the zero cost version is not FOSS but proprietary software that is zero cost and tagged as Other open source/Free license

A tag that says zero cost fine, as not all FOSS software is zero cost.

I am at the state of downloading software packages unzipping them reading the license and then discarding them. Which is probably a waste for all involved.

We are going to solve this in the next upgrade. Hopefully the information about the license and the cost will be clearer then :)
