Subject: [PATCH] profiles: Exclude NOSA and Watcom-1.0 from the FREE-SOFTWARE
 group
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Rationale for exclusion of NOSA:
- Section 3G: "Each Contributor represents that that its Modification
  is believed to be Contributor's original creation [...]"
- FSF: "[...] not a free software license because it includes
  a provision requiring changes to be your 'original creation'.
  Free software development depends on combining code from third
  parties, and the NASA license doesn't permit this."
  https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#NASA

Rationale for exclusion of Watcom-1.0:
- Section 2.2(c): "You must make Source Code of all Your Deployed
  Modifications publicly available [...]"
- FSF: "This is not a free software license. It requires you to publish
  the source code publicly whenever you 'Deploy' the covered software,
  and 'Deploy' is defined to include many kinds of private use."
  https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#Watcom
- Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=376431#22
- Presumably this also fails the "Desert Island" and "Dissident" tests:
  https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/License_groups#tests

Add NOSA back to the BINARY-REDISTRIBUTABLE group (but not Watcom-1.0
because of its patent clauses).

Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/908499
