Re: [jQuery] licensing question

[Michael Geary]

You're talking about this page, right?

http://docs.jquery.com/License

I rewrote it to be more clear and to reflect the actual intent of the
license.

See if your patent attorney finds it more palatable now...

Thanks,

[jQuery] licensing question

[David Robertson]

I really like your software and software based on it, but I can't use it
because of the language used in your licensing, according to our patent
attorney.

It reads

under both MIT and GPL licenses. This means that you can choose the
license that best suits your project, and use it accordingly.

If it read "under either the MIT or GPL licenses" then you would have
achieved the intent of your second sentence.  Any chance you could
change it?

[jQuery] Licensing Question

[Eric "Hobo" Garside]

I've got a quick question for all the licensing gurus who happen to be
on or about the list. I'm developing a plugin for jQuery for a
company, and want to release it as open source with a non-competition
stipulation. Is it possible to release the code under something like a
Creative Commons license where it's free for non corporate use, but
requires companies who seek to use the product in a commercial sense
to seek a license? I ask only given the dual licensing of jQuery under
both the MIT and GPL licenses which, as far as I know, normally deny
that kind of licensing?
