[R-pkg-devel] extra license (ODbL) on https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/share/licenses/license.db

[Jan Wijffels]

Hi,

I would like to add an R package to CRAN which is now available at github:
https://github.com/jwijffels/BelgiumMaps.Admin

The package contains data from OpenStreetMap which should be released under
the Open Database license (ODbL 1.0) which can be found at
http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1-0/

Unfortunately ODbL is not part of
https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/share/licenses/license.db
So I presume it will be rejected by the CRAN policy which states that other
licenses than in that license.db file will generally be rejected.

Hence my question. What can I do to make ODbL part of
https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/share/licenses/license.db

thanks,
Jan
