In the point 4 is written : " 4. LICENSEE may create derivative versions of the Program. LICENSEE hereby grants STANFORD a royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, distribute and sublicense any such derivative works. At the time LICENSEE provides a copy of a derivative version of the Program to a third party, LICENSEE shall provide STANFORD with one copy of the source code of the derivative version at no charge to STANFORD. " In my opinion, the license is non-free software. Is almost equal to the license eCos Public License, version 1.1 : " This was the old license of eCos. It is not a free software license, because it requires sending every published modified version to a specific initial developer. There are also some other words in this license whose meaning we're not sure of that might also be problematic. " Please, read the page -> http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#NonFreeSoftwareLicense :-) _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
