:Sorry. I realize I had the wrong link. Should be http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html which includes many non-GNU licenses. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 09:21, 24 June 2011 (EDT)

:The problem with the Fedora link was a typo. Should link directly to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#Good_Licenses now. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 09:23, 24 June 2011 (EDT)

:: Maybe just to be explicit, write "Good Licenses" instead of "acceptable licenses"? [[User:Bert|Bert]] 09:54, 24 June 2011 (EDT)
::: Yes. I agree... consistency. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 10:02, 24 June 2011 (EDT)
''Another nit pick: I find the second link to the GNU.org website distracting and unnecessary. I'd replace ''"is found on the [http://gnu.org GNU.org website]"'' with ''"is provided by the FSF"''. The FSF is mentioned again later, so it's better to use the same name. [[User:Bert|Bert]] 10:04, 24 June 2011 (EDT)
:Nitpicking is right... but I made the change :) --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 10:51, 24 June 2011 (EDT)
:: That's better, though I'd remove that link altogether. It adds nothing to the official Sugar Labs Licensing page. My suggestion was "is provided by the FSF", with no embedded link at all. [[User:Bert|Bert]] 11:11, 24 June 2011 (EDT)
:::Sure... less is more. But I decided to spell out our acronyms when first used (and OSD->OSI) :P --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 11:19, 24 June 2011 (EDT)

+1, having Fedora list of good licences will simplify workflow on ASLO to make it automatic, ie, activities-testing.sugarlabs.org [[Activity_Library/Editors/Policy/Licensing|sees]] to the {{Code|licence}} tag in the {{Code|activitiy.info}} to accept/reject any new upload.
