profiles: Exclude NOSA and Watcom-1.0 from the FREE-SOFTWARE group Rationale for exclusion of NOSA: - Section 3G: "Each Contributor represents that that its Modification is believed to be Contributor's original creation [...]" - FSF: "[...] not a free software license because it includes a provision requiring changes to be your 'original creation'. Free software development depends on combining code from third parties, and the NASA license doesn't permit this." https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#NASA Rationale for exclusion of Watcom-1.0: - Section 2.2(c): "You must make Source Code of all Your Deployed Modifications publicly available [...]" - FSF: "This is not a free software license. It requires you to publish the source code publicly whenever you 'Deploy' the covered software, and 'Deploy' is defined to include many kinds of private use." https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#Watcom - Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=376431#22 - Presumably this also fails the "Desert Island" and "Dissident" tests: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/License_groups#tests Add NOSA back to the BINARY-REDISTRIBUTABLE group (but not Watcom-1.0 because of its patent clauses).
