A few of you sounded interested in using it. I haven't explicitly put a
software license on it, so I guess it's not technically FOSS yet. What licenses

Mab is going to be the new one going forward. If I remember right, the reasons
for this were:
1) Markaby isn't very well maintained these days
2) Markaby is all about xhtml, which is totally irrelevant to the modern web.
3) Markaby doesn't explicitly have a license allowing us to do stuff to
I made those changes to Markaby to be able to use it with HTML5.
I couldn't be bothered rewriting my code to get it to use mab or whatever

This is very helpful! I don't really mind though. Maybe public domain is best.
I'm not a big believer in copyright.

Hey there,
BSD uses full copyright, it's like saying all rights reserved.
Public domain means no rights
thanks - a compact but completely-formed answer. So 'mab is the
Camping-specific markaby' would be an accurate statement? - DaveE

You could read Stallman's CopyLeft idea http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/

Public domain is people can do whatever they want with it.
BSD is people can do whatever they want with it,
LOL if you don't, that's okay! Just in case you did... - DE
Why would I care if they did that?

thanks Magnus, Anthony - that's all going in my quickref 'solutions

Public domain is people can do whatever they want with it.
BSD is people can do whatever they want with it, but I retain

Just wanted to mention that not everything is so peachy in the public domain.
Some jurisdictions do not recognize the right of an author to dedicate
a work to the public domain; and there is no single legal definition
for what is the public domain that every jurisdiction agrees on.

My personal favorites are the MIT and BSD licneses -- both are similar, and
basically grant people the right to do whatever they want provided that
they preserve attribution in source code (so called permissive licenses).
MIT is marginally simpler to read and is unambiguous, since there's only
This is all interesting stuff - never knew the Camping community had a
licensing information stream. I gave a talk that included the basics

students a few years back. If I ever do it again, this'll make me
