#205: Remove BSD4 from Cabal.Distribution.License.License ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: igloo | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: Linux | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- I doubt any Haskell software actually uses the BSD4 license, and it is likely to confuse users as it looks like a newer version of BSD3. Currently we have {{{ data License = ... | BSD3 | BSD4 }}} so I propose moving to one of {{{ data License = ... | BSD3 data License = ... | BSD data License = ... | BSD3 | OldBSD data License = ... | BSD | OldBSD data License = ... | NewBSD | OldBSD }}} (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical lists it as "New BSD license") All but the first will require changing a number of packages. We could leave the old BSD3 name as deprecated for a while, though. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/205 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
