Arabeyes and licenses



Salam
	This issue have to be addressed sooner or later .. there should be a 
guideline that sets what licenses are acceptable for Arabeyes, what are not 
.. licenses that are not acceptable by Arabeyes to use in Arabeyes Projects, 
and licenses that are not acceptable to use for External projects, and so on 
..

	Arabeyes had been existing or months now.. and there comes cases where we 
were not 100% sure about the licenses, whether it is acceptable or not .. 
examples are the HPL license, the Charityware license, BSD, etc..

	The guideline that set the acceptable licenses should set the 
characteristics of the licenses that are acceptable, not the acceptable 
licenses by name, as there will be always new licenses to deal with, 
specially if Arabeyes are looking for partnerships, and uniting with existing 
projects with similar goals ..

enough turning around the licenses issue, and let's face it, and set it once 
and for all ..
