hi - right, i added it. thanks for the report. (i also tweaked some descriptive text and added agplv3+ at the same time. for the record, the file is frontend:/usr/src/savane/etc/site-specific-content/hashes.txt)

assaf/bob/anyone: my impression is that the license is just stored as a string in the database, ie, there is no sql enum to be modified. confirm/deny?

ian - may or may not matter for your purposes, but fyi, apache2 is not compatible with gplv2-only (gplv2-or-later is ok) ...

best,
karl

In the project registration form, Apache License 2.0 is not in the list
of licenses to choose. It should be, since the license is the license
recommended by GNU for small
programs. (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-recommendations.en.html).I
personally have a project for a small program I was considering
registering and was confused by this.
