Use is irrelevant because as far as copyright is concerned, it is permitted per 17 USC 117 and the BSD doesn't seek to override 17 USC 117 "user rights" in contractual manner. Regarding derivative works beyond the scope of 17 USC 117 adaptations (note that 17 USC 117 adaptations may be transferred/distributed only with the authorization of the copyright owner), the modified source code must retain the BSD license: different license is not allowed. regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
