Feature: Classification of Licenses by Grouping

[spiffcs]

Summary

For the next version of Grant we'd like to see a grant-db that normalizes and merges the following datasets:

• OSI
• GNU Operating System License List
• Choose a License
• SPDX License List

Combining these data sets will allow Grant to qualify licenses in the following groupings:

• Strong Copy left
• Weak Copy Left
• Permissive License Family

These groupings will allow users to enable better policy rules that ignore or warn on groups of licenses rather than having to configure each individually.

Out of scope for this issue but under consideration for future work is providing the ability for a user to add/annotate additional licenses to the dataset that are not found in the sources listed above.
