Identify OSI approved licenses

[GeorgLink]

At All Things Open, @dizquierdo and I met with Patrick and Nick from OSI. They want to have some publicity around an “Open Source Metric”. Yesterday during the CHAOSS Risk WG, we defined “Open Source Metric” to be a filter “is OSI approved” on top of License Coverage.

If OSI follows through to create some marketing around this “Open Source Metric” and they highlight the CHAOSS project — it would be great to also extend Graal CoLic to have this metric. Augur implemented the metric using the SPDX license list (json available) to check whether a license is OSI approved — maybe an approach we can do as well.

I imagine that we add a yes/no field "is-osi-approved-license" or something like that.

@GeorgLink @dicortazar can you provide more info about this idea? thanks

What aspect of the idea would you like to know more about?

The basics:
We have a list of identified licenses.
We check if each license is on the OSI-approved-list and set a boolean.
We calculate the percentage of true over all == open source metric.

Sorry, I meant Graal CoLic ... I fixed the description.
