Acuatlly, John, it is exactly the opposite. Licenses are approved, software is certified if it is distributed under an approved license. Trademark law does not allow a trademark on a license, because it is neither goods nor services. I acknowledge the problem presented by Francis Hunt's question. That is one reason the Academic Free License, that is intended to replace the BSD license, contains an explicit statement of the requirement to publish source code. /Larry -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
