Noel, I mean all of the above (or, more literally, below). I want the meaning of *use* to be expansive, limited only by the express provisions of the OSL license itself. In this license, I encourage creativity and broad application of the right to use. /Larry
-----Original Message----- From: Humphreys, Noel [mailto:nhumphreys@;AkinGump.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 2:27 PM To: 'Lawrence E. Rosen' Subject: Right to Use Larry: I've been following your innovations with interest. Now, you suggest this: 15) Right to Use. You may use the Original Work in all ways not otherwise restricted or conditioned by this License or by law, and Licensor promises not to interfere with or be responsible for such uses by You. Do you have in mind merely "execute the code" when you employ the word "use" or do you mean to include "make money by means of distribution or resale" when you employ the word "use." Do you mean "on your own machine" or do you mean "anywhere and for the benefit of anyone" when you employ the word "use"? I worry that a court will find the word "use" a more expansive term than I am guessing that you intend. Is that a needless worry? Or does "use" need a definition? You may post this to the discussion list if you wish. I did not do so, because I don't want to start up unnecessarily any commotion on the list. You know your intent better than I. Noel D.
