Hey Debian legal-beagles: AT&T has released some source under YAL that they are claiming is Open Source. The software in question is the graphviz library and tools, for working with directed graphs. the software is at
http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/ and the license is: http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/license/ Looks a little more open than the some other big-company licenses. They're very explicit about being able to distribute and charge for derived software, for example. The biggest show-stopper I see is they require a written licensing agreement for redistribution between the licensee and third parties, with an attached sample minimum license. There's a real need for good open source graph software. Unfortunately, this looks _close_, but not quite there. Any other opinions? Ross P.S. the license on the webpage is nearly unreadable. I printed it and ended up with 5 pages of classic small type legaleze. P.P.S. I'm not subscribed to debian-legal. I follow it in the archives. Feel free to CC: me. -- Ross J.
