endorsement of FSF/OSI approved licenses instead of individual (isolated) endorsement
Just an idea; apologise in advance in case I've a crucial point why the following wouldn't be possible ↓
Instead of approving licenses individually (which surely is a lot of work and may include consultation with specialised lawyers) we may want to approve sources of already approved licenses instead.
As an example: All licenses officially approved by the FSF or the OSI would qualify as free/open license for IEEE. This would include the licenses listed here (when tagged with a Y
)
You may notice that e.g. older CC licenses or CERN OHL's have not been approved, yet. I feel, when we take the effort of assessment, we could do so in collaboration with FSF &/ OSI or maybe even OSHWA (approval happen in public git repositories, so participation shouldn't have a super high threshold)
