That's best. FWIW, I believe Wikipedia unilaterally relicensed at some point. Also there was some discussion of this issue at the OSI, and there was a draft white paper by Eric Raymond (who is not a lawyer) on some legal theories that might let you get away with it. > * simple > * permissive > * widely known/recognised/understood (no need to think about it) > * written by real lawyers I would say this reduces your options to three: The revised BSD license, the Academic Free License (by Larry Rosen -- explain it as the MIT/X11 license on steroids), and one of the Creative Commons licenses. The CC licenses are probably the best known of those for this purpose. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list darcs-users@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
