Follow-up Comment #4, task #7015 (project administration): Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I went through the issue of "old BSD"-style license at http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/bsd.html According to this page the problem is "the obnoxious BSD advertising clause". It said that every advertisement mentioning the software must include a particular sentence: 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software must display the following acknowledgement: This product includes software developed by the University of California, Berkeley and its contributors. On the other hand Eric Brill's license says that ... The name of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or M.I.T. may NOT be used in advertising or publicity pertaining to distribution of the software. Title to copyright in this software and any associated documentation shall at all times remain with M.I.T., and USER agrees to preserve same. It seems to me Eric Brill's advertising clause is just the opposite of "old BSD" license! Or am I missing the issue of "advertising clause"? Thanks, Golam _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?7015> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
