You're correct to say that this is a gap in the existing set of open source licenses. What I would do if I were you is to construct such a license using the MIT license and the attribution clause you want, carefully tracking the language in the GPLv3. Then follow the process "For Approval" at http://www.opensource.org/approval . IMHO you can reasonably ask for the outside legal review to be waived, given the simplicity of your license. -- John Cowan <co...@ccil.org> http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Sir, I quite agree with you, but what are we two against so many? --George Bernard Shaw, to a man booing at the opening of _Arms and the Man_ _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list License-discuss@opensource.org http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
