Would a gnuplot style Can't redistribute complete modified source, only source
+ patches license be acceptable to the author? Apparently this is acceptable to
the OSI.

Personally I was shocked that something with such a license gets to call itself
GNU. But thats getting off topic...

Hmm,

Couldn't he make up a License (using an OSI one as starting point) which is
fully OSI except that it doesn't allow changing the Inform language?

Which then brings us to the next question, would such a License be open enough
for Fedora?

Otherwise you can always package it for the repo that must not be named.

I contacted Graham Nelson regarding this issue.  He has his reasons for not
wanting to use an OSI-approved license.  In his words,

 I am nervous of the GPL, and its cognates. Not because I dislike
 the principle of thing, or do not share the generally egalitarian
 outlook - but because I want to keep the definition of the language
 stable. I therefore don't want to give people the right to create
 derivative works. All the other rights are fine - open source,
 compile it yourself, distribute it yourself, no fees or patents,
 use it even commercially without permission, sure. I just don't
 want Inform to be like awk, with no copy of awk compatible
 with any other on points of detail.

I can understand where he's coming from on this and I'm not convinced I want to
change his mind.  I'm going to go ahead and let the issue drop.  I appreciate
the attention from both Jason and Hans.

Jason,

I would be more then happy to contact that address, I'm waiting for a comment
from Chris on this, does he want me to contact that address or will he do so
himself?

Chris?

Has anyone contacted [EMAIL PROTECTED] about the license?  That would seem to
be the proper contact address these days.
