I am somewhat unlearned in the licensing end, and need to be otherwise. I have read the HSQLDB license and it seems to be unexceptional to me. I have a law degree, and this seems to be a clear open source agreement to me. Can you guys educate me on the issues here? The licenses are very simple, so the issues cannot be that deep.

The ASF may not feel it is open source enough, but that's our requirement, not someone else's. The licensing point just sounds like FUD.


Anyway, the license itself from my reading is BSD-style. http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net/web/hsqlLicense.html
