[ Please discuss this license. Is he reinventing the LGPL? ] I submit for your consideration the "BSD Protection License", as found at http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/oucl/work/colin.percival/source/BSDPL.html (A plaintext version can be found by s/html/txt/ on the URL.)
Feel free to redistribute this as relevant (eg to license-discuss); I have no desire to remain anonymous (and the URL would identify me anyway). The included preamble should clarify the purpose of this license, but to summarize briefly, this license has a GPL flavour and a BSD spirit, and exists in order to allow closed source use of licensed code, while "protecting" the code from having that freedom removed.
