Embed Notice

was just chewing the fat with someone and we realized it would be good to have an "Accepted-license" header in #HTTP.

It would mean that u could ask for a response IF AND ONLY IF the response is of a particular license.

Accepted-licence: AGPLv3, GPLv3, BSD, CC0, CC-BY-SA-4.0

and then the server will respond with:
License: <<ONE OF THE ABOVE>>

....it wouldn't solve the privacy/anonymity issues of networked services but at least would force vendors claiming #FOSS to put it in writing (it should already be in writing but this would just make it persistent and mean that a person would need to periodically check what is published on a site).

dunno tho, this might already be a thing and just noone does it, lol
