Well, precisely. The parts of the license are three: notice, conditions, disclaimer. If the disclaimer were a condition, it would not be mentioned (twice!) separately from the conditions. If this argument doesn't convince you, I can only point to the unanimous practice of many large corporations who include BSD-licensed code into their proprietary software, and then offer warranties on that software. If it's good enough for them, it should probably be good enough for you. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan co...@ccil.org A mosquito cried out in his pain, "A chemist has poisoned my brain!"
