Prashant Shah scripsit: > Updated the license as per the feedback received.
Okay, I ran another wdiff, and there are only four differences remaining: 1) In the patent license, where Apache has "the Work", Akshar has "the Work or Derivative Works". The difference is unimportant, because you are getting the license from "each Contributor" anyway. 2) In the redistribution clause, where Apache has "You must give any other recipients of the Work or Derivative Works", Akshar has "You must retain, in the Source Form of any Work or Derivative Works that you distribute". This seems to imply, without actually saying so, that you need not distribute the Akshar License with a binary-only distribution. It's not clear how this helps anyone. 3) The prominent-notices requirement is moved to the end of the redistribution clause. No effect. 4) The reference to the specific NOTICES file is replaced by a reference to generic notices, including not only attribution notices but copyright, patent, and trademark notices, in both the redistribution clause and the trademarks clause. Thus Apache privileges the file named "NOTICE", assuming it contains attribution notices, whereas Akshar doesn't. But it's a good thing to only have to look in one place for attribution notices. I don't see how this change helps anyone either. More than ever this license needs a justification in detail of its sparse differences from Apache. -- John Cowan co...@ccil.org http://ccil.org/~cowan No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. --John Donne _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list License-discuss@opensource.org http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
