| -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.
