No, we decided not to maintain this information going forward. I can
go into why I don't think it's worthwhile, if there's interest. We
probably will add some documentation addressing the issue.

There are so few non-legacy, today-commonly-used,
generally-accepted-as-FOSS licenses that are not viewed as
GPLv3-compatible that I think it might be better for Ansible to just
list those (the only one I can think of is EPL-2.0), or to list a
small set of recommended/acceptable commonly-used FOSS licenses.
