We should state something along the lines of:
You may change it, and distribute such changes so long as:
a) You distribute the origonal source code, intact,
without any changes and a means to make the
changes;
b) You distribute the origonal source coude, intact,
clearly labeled as such, and your modifed soruce
code, also clearly labeled as such; or
c) You do not call it OpenCard. In such case, you must:
1. Leave in all copyright notices on the code,
and be sure to credit the appropriate people
in the appropriate about boxes and
documentation.
2. Include in the appropriate places the words:
"This product is based on OpenCard. For more
information on OpenCard, visit
<http://ufp.uqam.ca/OpenCard/>"
In all cases, you shall not use the name OpenCard, the names of
the members of the OpenCard development team, or any trademarks
of the aforementioned to endource your product.
