License Compatibility Analysis


Software Freedom Law Center: The SFLC is also available to provide community-wide license review and compatibility analysis, for the purpose of identifying and addressing the causes of unnecessary FOSS license proliferation.

If this ultimately results in a clear set of guidelines as to when works covered under various licenses can be combined with one another, then this would be a very good thing indeed.

Perhaps the end result would be like blood types, with MIT like licenses being universal donors; and with a number of licenses that may be incompatible with one other, but still can be combined together with GPL V3 works (universal receiver).
