esdl-license?
Apparently esdl-license, used by devel/libsmi, is not marked as
default acceptable, which is puzzling to me because it reads to me
like an unremarkable permissive free software licence.
It looks like Debian has accepted it in main a long time ago (back in
2011), so I infer that it must have passed DFSG:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libsmi
https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/libs/libsmi/copyright-0.4.8dfsg2-16
Is there any reason not to rename it esdl and make it default
acceptable?
(There is some extra language in esdl-license not appearing at
https://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/libsmi/COPYING.html?lang=de, and
a 3-clause-bsd that does appear in there, so maybe these should be
tweaked a little bit to separate the paragraphs, and the four cases
in-tree updated to reflect this adjustment, but that's a minor issue
past the main question here.)
