I have some software that we developed. I would like to release it as "Open Source". I am happy to give it out without cost and would be happy to let others improve it. The only thing requirement I got from the person who paid for its development was the need to track the users of the software. Since the code is all perl the end user can see the software prior to sending me their free registration information. The funding person is okay with this.
The tracking of users could be done by something as simple as the ./install script running a question that asks if the user would be willing to send their name. If they say yes then they can proceed, if they say no then they will get kicked out, but it's just perl... Any ideas on what OSI licenses this would conform to? Does the requirement to track users keep something from being open-source? R. Scott Studham Technical Group Lead, MSCF Computer Operations Phone: 509-376-8430 P.O.
