Yann, How's this for a new trigger condition for The Free World Licence:
2.1 CONTRACT: This Licence is a legal contract between you and the Original Licensor (and possibly between you and other contributing Licensors as well). Licensor unilaterally grants you a copyright licence to receive and retain a copy of a compressed archive file containing the Module. However, by extracting the Module from such an archive for the first time, or by modifying the archive, or by otherwise installing, browsing, executing, modifying or distributing the Module, you indicate your acceptance of this Licence and you automatically enter into a contract with Licensor, as defined by this document. I just wrote this and my lawyer hasn't seen this yet, so it might change, but I thought I'd shoot it to you anyway to get some quick feedback. I have changed the note to: Note : Because this licence permits use on free platforms only, it does not satisfy the requirements for use of the US certification mark "open source" as defined by the mark's registrants in the web site www.opensource.org. Consequently, this licence should not be referred to as an "open source" licence and software released under this licence should not be referred to as "open source". However, you can refer to such software as "free software". which I hope is less offensive. I'm assuming it was the "you are free to..." part that was offensive. If it's the idea of referring to it as free software that's offensive then let me know. I have tightened the wording of 2.2 as follows: 2.2 SUBJECT OF LICENCE: This Licence applies to any Module, or other work, that contains a notice placed by the work's copyright holder (or entity authorized by the copyright holder) saying that it may be distributed under the terms of this Licence. If no licence version number is provided in the notice, the version of this Licence is applicable that was most current at the time the Module was first released under this Licence. None of this is shipped yet. Ross. Dr Ross N. Williams ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), +61 8 8232-6262 (fax-6264).
