If you know of other licenses we passed with badgeware requirements, please name them. Because yes, they should all be candidates for removal. Note that, for example, the GPLv3 requirement isn't a "badgeware" requirement, because it gives makers of derivative works flexibility in exactly how the software is attributed. One of the chief problems with badgeware requirements like the AAL is that it effectively prevents downstream developers from ever removing the GUI from the program, or from running it on an embedded system (thus violating OSD6 and/or OSD10). -- Josh Berkus _______________________________________________ The opinions expressed in this email are those of the sender and not necessarily those of the Open Source Initiative.
