Other open source/Free license tag
Posted: 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.
