+BSD Protection License |
+February 2002 |
+ |
+Preamble |
+-------- |
+ |
+The Berkeley Software Distribution ("BSD") license has proven very effective |
+over the years at allowing for a wide spread of work throughout both |
+commercial and non-commercial products. For programmers whose primary |
+intention is to improve the general quality of available software, it is |
+arguable that there is no better license than the BSD license, as it |
+permits improvements to be used wherever they will help, without idealogical |
+or metallic constraint. |
+ |
+This is of particular value to those who produce reference implementations |
+of proposed standards: The case of TCP/IP clearly illustrates that freely |
+and universally available implementations leads the rapid acceptance of |
+standards -- often even being used instead of a de jure standard (eg, OSI |
+network models). |
+ |
+With the rapid proliferation of software licensed under the GNU General |
+Public License, however, the continued success of this role is called into |
+question. Given that the inclusion of a few lines of "GPL-tainted" work |
+into a larger body of work will result in restricted distribution -- and |
+given that further work will likely build upon the "tainted" portions, |
+making them difficult to remove at a future date -- there are inevitable |
+circumstances where authors would, in order to protect their goal of |
+providing for the widespread usage of their work, wish to guard against |
+such "GPL-taint". |
+ |
+In addition, one can imagine that companies which operate by producing and |
+selling (possibly closed-source) code would wish to protect themselves |
+against the rise of a GPL-licensed competitor. While under existing |
+licenses this would mean not releasing their code under any form of open |
+license, if a license existed under which they could incorporate any |
+improvements back into their own (commercial) products then they might be |
+far more willing to provide for non-closed distribution. |
+ |
+For the above reasons, we put forth this "BSD Protection License": A |
+license designed to retain the freedom granted by the BSD license to use |
+licensed works in a wide variety of settings, both non-commercial and |
+commercial, while protecting the work from having future contributors |
+restrict that freedom. |
+ |
+The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution, and |
+modification follow. |
+ |
+BSD PROTECTION LICENSE |
+TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION, AND MODIFICATION |

+ |
+1. Scope. |
+ This license governs the copying, distribution, and modification of the |
+ Program. Other activities are outside the scope of this license; The |
+ act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the |
+ Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the |
+ Program. |
+ |
+2. Verbatim copies. |
+ You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program as you |
+ receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and |
+ appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep |
+ intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of |
+ any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this |
+ License along with the Program. |
+ |
+3. Modification and redistribution under closed license. |
+ You may modify your copy or copies of the Program, and distribute |
+ the resulting derivative works, provided that you meet the |
+ following conditions: |
+ a) The copyright notice and disclaimer on the Program must be reproduced |
+ and included in the source code, documentation, and/or other materials |
+ provided in a manner in which such notices are normally distributed. |
+ b) The derivative work must be clearly identified as such, in order that |
+ it may not be confused with the original work. |
+ c) The license under which the derivative work is distributed must |
+ expressly prohibit the distribution of further derivative works. |
+ |
+4. Modification and redistribution under open license. |
+ You may modify your copy or copies of the Program, and distribute |
+ the resulting derivative works, provided that you meet the |
+ following conditions: |
+ a) The copyright notice and disclaimer on the Program must be reproduced |
+ and included in the source code, documentation, and/or other materials |
+ provided in a manner in which such notices are normally distributed. |
+ b) You must clearly indicate the nature and date of any changes made |
+ to the Program. The full details need not necessarily be included in |
+ the individual modified files, provided that each modified file is |
+ clearly marked as such and instructions are included on where the |
+ full details of the modifications may be found. |
+ c) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole |
+ or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part |
+ thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third |
+ parties under the terms of this License. |
+ |
+5. Implied acceptance. |
