* In the guidelines about adding AppData, please include the
requirement for metadata licenses to match the upstream code license
if we're creating the AppData file. (abadger1999, 17:07:28)
Well, I'm not quite sure I got the point. From [1]:
<metadata_license/>
The <metadata_license> tag is indicating the content license that you
are releasing the AppData text file and screenshots as. This is not
typically the same as the project license. (...) Permissible license
codes include:
CC0-1.0
CC-BY-3.0
(...)
The old name for this tag was <licence/> and was changed for two
reasons. It used the British English spelling, and also that it
wasn't clear that the license given wasn't the project license, but
rather the license for the metadata only.
<project_license/>
The <project_license> tag is indicating the licenses that you used
for the application and any data or media files used. This is not
typically the same as the metadata license. (...)
I.e. metadata license to be the same as upstream code license is not
possible, giving that only *content* licenses are valid for this tag.
Also read:
This is not typically the same as the project license.
Giving that, I'd say your proposition is wrong.
