## <NOTE>
## We want *standardized* license specs so that we can compute on them.
## In particular, we want to know whether licenses are recognizable as
## FOSS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software)
## licenses.
##
## A license spec is standardized ("canonical") if it is an alternative
## of component specs which are one of the following:
##
## A. "Unlimited"
## B. "file LICENSE" or "file LICENCE"
## C. A specification based on the R license db
##    * A standard short specification (SSS field)
##    * The name or abbreviation of an unversioned license
##    * The name of abbreviation of a versioned license, optionally
##      followed by a version spec
##    * The name of a versioned license followed by the version
##    * The abbrevation of a versioned license combined with '-',
##   optionally followed by an extension spec as in B (in principle,
##   only if the base license is extensible).
##
## A license spec is standardizable if we know to transform it to
## standardized form.
##
## Note that the R license db also contains non-FOSS licenses, and hence
## information (FOSS field) on the FOSS status of the licenses.
## Ideally, a license taken as FOSS would be approved as free by the FSF
## and as open by the OSI: we also take licenses as FOSS when approved
## by the FSF (and not rejected by the OSI).

## Standardizable license specs:

## License specifications found on CRAN/BioC/Omegahat and manually
## classified as standardizable software licenses (even though not
## standardized/canonical), provided as a list of license specs named by
## the respective standardizations.
## With ongoing standardization this should gradually be eliminated.
## Last updated: 2009-02-19.

## Nasty issues.
## * There really is no GPL version 2.0.
##   Unfortunately, the FSF uses 2.0 in URLs or links
##   (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html)
##   The text clearly says "Version 2, June 1991".
## * There really is no LGPL version 2.0.
##   Unfortunately, the FSF uses 2.0 in URLs or links
##   (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/).
##   The text clearly says "Version 2, June 1991".
## * CeCILL is a bit of a mess: the current version is referred to as
##   "version 2" (http://www.cecill.info/licences.en.html) but
##    internally uses "Version 2.0 dated 2006-09-05"
