I agree, and read it over. I see no changes that would affect its Open Source status, and I think OSI should fast-track it as soon as they get a formal submission. Here are the changes I see: 1) The scope is extended from software to any kind of work. 2) Additional agreements are extended from "support, warranty, indemnity, or other liability obligations" to any obligations whatsoever. 3) References to the European Commission and the European Communities are updated to the EU. 4) The list of licenses which can supersede the EUPL in the case of works that are dual-licensed has been extended to additional copyleft licenses as well as new versions of existing licenses. This provision allows you to take, for example, a EUPL+GPL work and treat it as licensed under the GPL only. -- As we all know, civil libertarians are not John Cowan the friskiest group around --comes from co...@ccil.org forever being on the qui vive for the sound http://www.ccil.org/~cowan of jack-booted fascism coming down the pike. --Molly Ivins _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list License-discuss@opensource.org http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
