(please CC me on replies) Hi,
I came across the Molspin package [1], which has a standard BSD 3-clause license plus this following fourth clause[2,3]: |4. Every use of the source code or binary form of the software should |acknowledge the following publication: | | MolSpin - Flexible and Extensible General Spin Dynamics Software | Claus Nielsen & Ilia A. Solov'yov | Note: The paper is submitted to Journal of Chemical Physics (Special | issue on spin chemistry, 2019). I am wondering whether this is DFSG-free as this fourth clause is a should, not a must (and it is good academic practise to cite anyway)? If not, can you suggest a rephrasing of this clause that would make it DFSG-free, but be similar in spirit (i.e. nudge the user to cite the package if they publish results based on its use)?
