Yas! This is very much needed. I'm surprised not to see LLaMa in the list.

I also want to see isitreallyfoss.com in the list. (Of course the answer is "yes". It's under AGPL. But it feels like a conspicuous absence.)

Edit: Oh, also, I'd love to see licenses included on that site as well as projects. Like FUTO's Source First License 1.1 (with a big blinking red "NO" of course), for instance.

The fsf already has a list for the latter https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#SFL

I suppose I wish this was a source available tag. Yes some of these applications may not completely conform to FOSS, but source available is at least something. Most of the apps I use that are flagged mostly discuss licensing. I think it's useful to distinguish between the two.
