Uhmm.

Sorry, I really can't explain it better than http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-cplfaq.html regards, alexander. P.S. http://ntxshape.sourceforge.net/opensource.html <quote> Common Public License There is one other license that we might have considered: the Common Public License, used for some projects on IBM's developerWorks site. It looks much like the IBM Public License, except that it is not "hard-coded" for IBM, and is is intended for general use. These licenses, both published by IBM, seem to strike a balance similar to that of the Mozilla Public License, but are easier for a human (as opposed to a lawyer) to read. However, the Common Public License bears a version number of 0.5. It is not a widely used license, perhaps because its version number implies instability. As a result it is not as well known as the licenses mentioned above, and has not entered into the open source vernacular. So, although it looks promising, this license does not have the same communication / project marketing value as the better known, more widely used licenses. IBM needs to release a 1.0 version of this license, and do a better job of marketing this license to developers, so that the license itself can help market IBM developerWorks' open source projects. Until they do those things, I doubt this license will get very much mindshare outside of IBM's developerWorks. </quote> -- http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/linux/fun _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
