g...@sourceauditor.com: > - Do we agree the "OR-MAYBE" should be added?
I agree, and I prefer OR-MAYBE (I didn't come up with it). It's more general AND its meaning is more obvious. My congrats to whoever created it, I think it was W. Trevor King. > - Should we disallow "OR-MAYBE" in declared license fields (it would only be > used in concluded license fields)? No. Projects sometimes get inherited from others where the license isn't clear to start with, so it needs to be *possible* to declare ambiguities. Of course, a *declaration* using "OR MAYBE" should concerning, but that helps potential users know where to dig in. > - What is the exact definition of the "OR-MAYBE" we would include in the spec? For "OR MAYBE", in the definition of compound-expression, change: compound-expression "OR" compound-expression ) / to: compound-expression "OR" ["MAYBE"] compound-expression ) / If you want a MAYBE prefix to be allowed anywhere, you could change: compound-expression = 1*1(simple-expression / to: compound-expression = ["MAYBE"] 1*1(simple-expression / The latter allows MAYBE as a prefix in general, in case you have no confidence in *anything*. I can't be on the 10am call, sorry! --- David A.
