Hello, Am 17.06.26 um 07:36 schrieb Ansgar 🙀:
I would recommend not making licenses non-free retroactively just because they contain annoying clauses like GPL-2's requirement to add "notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change" of any modified file (which Debian just ignores anyway) or some advertisement clauses (which probably get handled in practice much like the aforementioned GPL clause).
Only to make things clear:1. BSD 4-clause is a Free License. But it is practically impossible for Debian (and others) to comply with the terms of this licence.
2. The initial problem of this thread was not a BSD license. It was an Apache-2.0 license with an explicit added advertising clause.
