| +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.
|

|
| + 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.
