I have used a license like this for my open projects for a very long time. Does this look like a real open source license?
Here is the license text, as used in my buttond project: > buttond, version 1.0 > Copyright (C) 2015 Max T. Chan <[email protected]>, All rights reserved. > > You are allowed to use, modify, copy and distribute this software, as long as > the following conditions are met: > > * You distribute this software in its executable form with the copyright > notice above, this license and the disclaimer below intact and display > them in appropriate ways; > * You distribute this software in its source code form with the > copyright > notice above, this license and the disclaimer below intact and the end > result of such source code displays them in appropriate ways; > * The name of the author and contributors are not used without previous > explicit written permission by the author and contributors. > > THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED TO YOU ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER > COMES WITH THIS SOFTWARE, IMPLICIT OR NOT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE > LAWS. > THE AUTHORS, CONTRIBUTORS AND COPYRIGHT HOLDERS SHALL NOT BE HELD RELIABLE TO > ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS OCCURRED FROM USING OF THIS SOFTWARE. Is this a rephrase of the 3-clause BSD license? _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
