I would really appeciate some evidence of this. Here my evidence that the original BSD license was first used in 1989, the same year as the original GPL: "In June 1989 the Berkeley group took just this approach, releasing the TCP/IP code and a set of supporting utilities that had been written without any AT&T code as 'Networking Release 1.' 'Networking Release 1 came with generous licensing terms. This was the first example of what would later be called a BSD-style license." - http://books.google.co.uk/books?q=%22came+with+generous+licensing+terms%22 -- Regards, Dave _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
