The patent grant and disclaimer looked like they could be permuted without changing the meaning. And the “DISCLAIMER” header could be added to an <alt> group on the vanilla BSD-2-Clause. If there is any doubt for either of those, then yeah, the WITH “exception” approach is not an option. But say the BSD+Patent license had just been “append this text to the vanilla BSD-2-Clause”, I think Jilayne's policy would *still* call for a new license. Is that not how you read “take them as we find them”? Cheers, Trevor -- This email may be signed or encrypted with GnuPG (http://www.gnupg.org).
