BOLA licence (darcsweb): free or not?

2006-01-08 Thread Stephane Bortzmeyer
It seems DFSG-free to me but who knows? I don't like licenses, because I don't like having to worry about all this legal stuff just for a simple piece of software I don't really mind anyone using. But I also believe that it's important that people share and give back; so I'm placing darcsweb
