You exposed the need to avoid showing to the public non-free skills. So we
are
looking for a category to classify the skill-fields users fill. We can
take
this opportunity to allow to tag skills more precisely, exposing for
example
if it is Software or Documentation:
(Option 1)
Initial flag
* Pending to classify
General flags
* Unknown
* Abstract
The actual classification
* Software
* Free Software
* Almost-Free Software
* Partially-Free Software
* Non-Free Software
I don't understand what problem this is meant to be
the solution to. However, shouldn't you omit these three?
* Almost-Free Software
* Partially-Free Software
* Non-Free Software
(Option 3) The more complete classification could be:
Initial flag
* Pending to classify
General flags
* Unknown
* Abstract
The actual classification
* Software
Free Software
Almost-Free Software
Partially-Free Software
Non-Free Software
* Hardware
* Data
Free
Non-Free
* Documentation
Free
Non-Free
* Art
Non-Sharable
Sharable
Likewise, I don't know what this is supposed to be good for,
but the same points apply: we should not include these three
categories:
Almost-Free Software
Partially-Free Software
Non-Free Software
What does "free documentation skill" mean?
What does "non-free documentation skill" mean?
If the person is skilled in writing documentation,
he can write free documentation or non-free documentation.
The choice of license does not alter the work needed to
write the manual. So what is the point here?
