Also, most "license licenses" allow you to derive, they just ask you to give your license a different name, which is IMO a reasonable request in this case, as it decreases confusion. For license texts, there is no requirement that one be able to evolve it further while keeping the same name, in the light of a lot of projects actually not specifying the actual version used, not being able to fork the license of a project is a good thing. Unlike documentation, licenses are not software. :-) Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
