Hello Guix,

I'd like to package a program with the "zlib license" which i hadn't
heard of before. How would i do that given that it seems `license:..`
terms only exist for GPL and BSD, roughly?

According to The Internet this license is GPL compatible, so can i go
ahead?

Thanks,
p.

Um, i'm sorry for the noise on the mailing list, i just realised Zlib is
packaged in Guix, so i looked, and i can use the built-in
`license:zlib`.

/me goes into the corner to feel ashamed :p

Ciao,

Independently of this special case, have a look at guix/licenses.scm.
There are plenty of licenses!
