Artistic 2.0 license is explicitly compatible with Apache license. "Section 4(c)(ii) is what we call the "relicensing" clause. Perl 6 and Parrot won't be dual licensed with the GPL, unlike Perl 5. Since they won't be dual licensed, if you want to use Perl 6 or Parrot under a GPL license, you will doing so under 4(c)(ii). Several other open source and free software licenses also qualify under 4(c)(ii), including the LGPL, MPL, and the Apache license. Note that these are only what have become known as "copyleft" licenses: "freely available" means both free as in speech and free as in beer." http://www.perlfoundation.org/artistic_2_0_notes Do we need some clarification on this from Apache legal? Or has it been clarified before and I'm just missing it? -- Peter Karman . http://peknet.com/ . [email protected]
