[gentoo-dev] Which license?
Im working on an ebuild for a package and Im not sure what license to use. The package is Copyright Company X but has this underneath: ## This software may be freely copied, modified and redistributed ## without fee for non-commerical purposes provided that this license ## remains intact and unmodified with any distribution. ## ## There is no warranty or other guarantee of fitness of this software. ## It is provided solely as is. The author(s) disclaim(s) all ## responsibility and liability with respect to this software's usage ## or its effect upon hardware, computer systems, other software, or ## anything else. ## Last time I looked, there were some 800 or so files in /usr/portage/license/ - so which one would I use? -- Aj -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

I grepped /usr/portage/licenses/ for the typo in this license -- non-commerical -- and came up with /usr/portage/licenses/XAnim, which very closely resembles this one. The only difference is the addition of and unmodified.. which I think is implied by intact. Thanks, Donnie -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
