Actually this very clause 6 is stronger than GPL w.r.t. charging. GPL does not in principle forbids charging. /* The GPL in practice seems to prevent changing. A big open issue as you know. See the "Open Source Business Found Parasitic" discussions here. See also www.softdevelcoop.org and references therein. And I think the OSL would equal the GPL here. */ -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
