Agenda for today
- Improving the documentation - make it easier to find key information (like inclusion principles), especially for people contributing first time/requesting a new license
- Discussion scheduled for today’s call regarding the inclusion principles, e.g., OSI approved but if OSI rejects, do we reject?
- We do reject non-open source licenses today, but do we want to include licenses commonly found in the wild?
