Comment (by jmroot):
Updating `good_licenses` is easy, it's just a list of all known licenses
that are distributable on their own. The conflicts are the tricky part. If
SSPL is adding additional terms to GPL-3, then presumably it conflicts
with all other extant GPL versions and variants (AGPL, CeCILL) as well as
all the things that GPL-3 conflicts with. But someone need to actually
read the license and compare the differences, and consider what other
commonly used license terms might conflict with it.
> I don't know whether or how the distinction between "AGPL" and "AGPL-1"
applies to SSPL.
In the conflicts, a license name with no trailing version means all
versions of that license. So the distinction between "AGPL" and "AGPL-1"
is like the distinction between "GPL", "GPL-1", "GPL-2", and "GPL-3". The
current version of the SSPL is 1, but since there are no other versions
currently, it only needs unversioned conflict entries.
