Oh yeah! I definitely agree with this one! There are just too many
licenses, some with buried clauses about binary rereleases, mixing with
non GPL'd software (or other licensed software).
This is somethign I personally feel should most definitely be covered.
I mean folks don't have to know every license out there, just the big ones
like Artist, MIT, BSD, GPL, LPGL, and the limitations thereof. I've been
an admin for years now, I've used linux for the last 7 years and I don't
know all the licenses out there.
This is definitely something that at least deserves a large timeslice even
if for nothing more than feasability (sp?).
