Is that worded as you want it? There is some clumsiness there and I am not sure what "features derived from its use" really means or is different from "products derived from this software" You know that this clause reaches much farther than the orginal BSD advertising clause. There are probably some who will not adopt the software because of it. > 7. Milestone must be notified of the redistribution and use of this > product.

(On the grounds that this fails the "no separate license" requirement of the OSD.) Consider what happens when the company goes out of business, or the WWW is replaced by something better. I think a requirement to notify the public is OK, a requirement to notify a specific entity is not. > 8.

That may not be against the OSD, but I think you are going to frighten away anyone who considers this software. Forrest -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
