That clause is ALREADY in Artistic license, which is @OSI-APPROVED. VIGRA actually looks MORE free than Artistic(-1). Some of the long clauses in Artistic were replaced with 'without restriction'. @ulm: I think we can add VIGRA to @MISC-FREE rather than just @BINARY-REDIST. Some of the other recent additions we did might be further candidates for @MISC-FREE as well.

Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2019-04-22 21:55:13 +0000 license_groups: add VIGRA to @BINARY-REDISTRIBUTABLE As discussed in #gentoo-releng on 2019/04/22 and in bug 684126. The VIGRA license, which is based on Artistic(-1): - permits distribution - does not require explicit approval - does not restrict cost of redistribution** ** The Artistic(-1) license already permits a reasonable copying fee, and is still @OSI-APPROVED, but not @FSF-APPROVED. Artistic-2 clarifies the language of the copying fee as "Distributor Fee", but still permits it, and is @GPL-COMPATIBLE. Fixes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/684126 Signed-off-by: Robin H.
