I suggested it for two important reasons: 1) The original version from Sun is used as base by a number of legal entities. That means people are familiar with it. The only part that is generally considered somehat controversal is the patent part, which can be likely skipped in this case. 2) It is used by a big international company. That means it got the blessing from at least two legal departments (Sun and now Oracle). It also means that it has written with an international audience in mind. There are some important differences in the copyright law between the USA and e.g. continental European countries like Germany. One basic case is the question of transfer of moral rights. The FSF basically hires people for the price of 1USD in goods. Ignoring both points, this CA has the nice side aspect for being actually readable for legalese :) Joerg _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
