- No further progress
- Allow other licenses like the JSON license
- Some other approach?
- What license should be used for a library plugin?
- License of the wrapped library (if wrapped library has no separate code, then seems likely)
- MIT license as used by Jenkins plugins (if abstraction layer in the plugin, then MIT for ours?)
- Review responses from other projects to license mixture (e.g. PyPI)
- Mostly focuses on OSI approved licenses but include a separate category for other licenses
- Have categories for freeware, public domain, and more
- Reasonable precedent for allowing a wider range of licenses
- Needs more discussion, but being more permissive is working for PyPI
- Newer licenses may be more controversial
- Mostly focuses on OSI approved licenses but include a separate category for other licenses
