Does anyone happen to have a comprehensive #FOSS license compatibility matrix that they trust?
I’m familiar with:
* The ASF, FSF, Mozilla and Eclipse Foundations’ statements about upstream license compatibility with their own licenses
* David A. Wheeler’s (Linux Foundation) work
* The EU’s JLA license compatibility checker
* The OSADL’s license compatibility matrix
* Various other random matrices found in the source code of various FOSS licensing-related tools
The issue is that these are (in some ways) contradictory (expected, given a lot of this stuff hasn’t been tested in court), but I’m trying to get a handle on which one(s) are considered most trustworthy.
