Description Beth Flanagan 2011-11-21 09:49:12 UTC
Stage Two - License decision making:

    * Check to see if the package license field contains an incompatible license. If it does, toss a warning.
    * Check user/legal license priority.
          o When given FOOv2 | BARv1, where the user has weighted BARv1 as higher than FOOv2, we would choose BAR.
          o When given FOOv2 & BARv1, where FOOv2 overrides BARv1, use FOOv2 even if the user has weighted BARv1 as higher.

This will probably not be done. It's a more complicated discussion. RFC sent.
Comment 2 Beth Flanagan 2012-01-18 17:23:17 UTC
This is not really a valid request. Closing.
