The following changes were made:
- One sentence within section 3.2 did not conform to the rules of Open Source. The sentence has been modified (as previously discussed) in order to conform.
"A Distributor may choose to distribute the Licensed Work, or any portion thereof, in Executable form (an "EXECUTABLE DISTRIBUTION") to any third party, under the terms of Section 2 of this License, provided the Executable Distribution is made available under and accompanied by a copy of this License ***and is distributed at no more than the cost of physically performing Executable Distribution***, AND provided at least ONE of the following conditions is fulfilled:"
(section between '***' marks was removed)
- The timeframe of thirty-six months for Subsequent Contributors to make their source available was considered too lengthy. It has been modified to twelve months (section 3.1a).
"A Subsequent Contributor shall make that Subsequent Contributor's Subsequent Work(s) available to the public via an Electronic Distribution Mechanism for a period of at least ***twelve (12)*** months. The aforesaid ***twelve (12)*** month period shall begin within a reasonable time after the creation of the Subsequent Work and no later than sixty (60) days after first distribution of that Subsequent Contributor's Subsequent Work."
(sections between '***' marks modified from 36 to 12 months)
I invite further discussion and hope this license is now suitable for OSI approval.
