Exactly! Thank you for the clear re-phrasing. I thought I'd been both clear and succinct. I see now that, relatively speaking, I'd chosen woolly words. > If so, then this is like the GPL without the system software clause. The GPL already prohibits dependence on proprietary software? I didn't realise this. Can you point me towards a URL which gives a clean explication of the GPL? > Win32 versions would have to use an open source cross-platform toolkit Yes. > or stick with standard interfaces. Again, yes. I would like to even stipulate that the standard interfaces (as far as the GUI is concerned) be open source and cross-platform. I don't know how practical this would be, however. > A license like this could certainly be Open Source Glad to hear it. I'll now begin writing the license, and follow the appropriate procedures in submitting it for approval.
