Community packages: have two sections, open source (OSI approved) and other

Open certik opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Currently all the packages in https://fortran-lang.org/packages/ have OSI approved open source licenses. See also https://github.com/fortran-lang/fortran-lang.org/blob/master/PACKAGES.md#package-criteria which has the same criterion (OSI approved license).

We should add a new section "other", or "commercial" or "not open source" that would list packages that have non OSI approved license. Some examples:

  • MUMPS (#259)
  • VASP
  • the NAG Fortran Library
  • Numerical Recipes (in Fortran)
  • perhaps packages like ANSYS, NASTRAN, ...
  • Original Matlab: https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/compiling-the-original-matlab/1074
  • ...

I believe there are quite a few codes out there where you have to request permission to access, but are written in Fortran. We can list all those.
