-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 February 5th 2010 for [email protected] copy to [email protected] thread "Explanation about permissive licences?".
The Revised BSD licence says "Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer." followed by the rest of conditions and the disclamer. If me or some other person modify a file under the revised BSD licence can he licence the result under any other licence he chose (Including propietary ones)?. Where must I retain the original Copyright notice and the original BSD licence notice?, After my licence and my copyright notice?, Or where else?. Is required I put an separator something like "The original file is licenced as follows: [...]"?. Do the same apply for the following licence or what are the differences?: "Permission is granted to any individual or institution to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software, provided that this complete copyright and permission notice is maintained, intact, in all copies and supporting documentation. <THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER> provides this software "as is" without express or implied warranty." In both cases Won't the requirement to retain that notice qualify a "futher restriction"? Note: I assume the second quoted licence is a permissive free software licence, if not please correct me. Thanks in advance. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREIAAYFAkts8SwACgkQZ4DA0TLic4iE6wCgipkM+kDkfszzIlVtCAjjl6IY lloAoIr5zP9P46K7ioNONWFooRt16Z5K =40hc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
