Hi folks,
Over in #gentoo-dev we've been discussing the need for a new license
for OpenSMTPD (currently in my overlay [1]).
What do we call it, and should it be included, or is it already
covered by another license we have?
* Portions Copyright (c) 1995 by International Business Machines, Inc.
*
* International Business Machines, Inc. (hereinafter called IBM) grants
* permission under its copyrights to use, copy, modify, and distribute this
* Software with or without fee, provided that the above copyright
notice and
* all paragraphs of this notice appear in all copies, and that
the name of IBM
* not be used in connection with the marketing of any product incorporating
* the Software or modifications thereof, without specific, written prior
* permission.
*
* To the extent it has a right to do so, IBM grants an immunity from suit
* under its patents, if any, for the use, sale or manufacture of
products to
* the extent that such products are used for performing Domain Name System
* dynamic updates in TCP/IP networks by means of the Software.
No immunity is
* granted for any product per se or for any other function of any product.

* DIRECT, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES

SOFTWARE, EVEN
* IF IBM IS APPRISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Thanks,
