Accept more licenses as Open Source
Reported by Dag Odenhall | April 30th, 2008 @ 04:07 PM
You should accept more licenses, at least the best-practice licenses according to the OSI and preferably all OSI-accepted licenses.
I use the AFL for my projects, which is an OSI best-practice license similar to MIT and BSD. So by following the recommendations of the Open Source Initiative, I am unable to use Lighthouse for Open Source.
Thanks for an otherwise great service!

We accept all licenses Google Code does, but we're certainly open to adding more given the popularity.

Please consider adding the NetHack Public licence ( http://www.nethack.org/common/li... ).
I understand it's not what one would call "widly used" but many of my projects involve enhancements to the game of NetHack (graphical interfaces, gameplay addons) and all of these use the NetHack public licence just as the main source.
thanks
