Again, I beg to differ about the importance of this question.

Paying careful attention to licenses is one of Fink's strengths.  We have
very rarely made *any* change in license policy, and the recent change
to allow "Restrictive/Distributable" was thoroughly discussed on this
list before it was implemented.  The only other change I can recall in
nearly two years was adding the "GPL/LDP" and "GPL/GFDL" dual licensing
options, and I'm not sure anybody uses those in packages.

Our use of the "BSD" license category is already pretty loose -- we lump
a lot of more-or-less similar licenses together there.  I personally don't
see a need for any more precision in the GPL license category.
