Please include database field to enter whether a License can be considered free, not free or doubtful

Open ilu33 opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

I looked through the database, just roughly. There are licenses of the type Multiple: 1 which is indeed free Proprietary: 16 which can't be hosted Copyrighted: 137 which can't be hosted Custom: 672 a lot of which are actually free but have to be reviewed individually And a lot of individual license types which have to be reviewed individually. If in doubt, its unfree :( Whoever wants to host these addons would need to distinguish. It's 1472 licenses in the db so that's doable. I'm not saying you should do it, just provide the entry field and index.

It will take a lot of manual work. Help is welcome.

Help wanted with inserting the (empty) database field? Or with filling it? Or I might be mistaken about how this works ...

Provide the empty field and see what I can do about the content. This has to be done manually for every entry in the license database.

I'm willing to work on the licenses but you'll have to tell me how.

You can use SQLite Manager to add a new table or field to one of the existing tables, and then mark every add-on as free, non-free or whatever.
