# 5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups # The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons. # 6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor # The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a # specific field of endeavor. For example, it may # not restrict the program from being used in a business, # or from being used for genetic research. Generally, dual licensing means USERS have a choice between an OS license and a proprietary license (e.g. Netscape), or between two OS licenses (e.g. Perl). In this case the DEVELOPER seems to be choosing who can use which license. # -----Original Message----- # From: Kenneth Geisshirt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] <snip> # The second point is to ensure than no competetor can go # private with our software (if we put 2-4 man years into the product we wish to get the # investment back - as a service provider). <snip> If you want to guarantee that, GPL your software (http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.html) All the best, Joe ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________ Joseph Feller ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ http://afis.ucc.ie/jfeller ~ http://opensource.ucc.ie -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
