Ha, you had gotten ahead of me, I didn’t realize you had already started the process after our conversations.
We prefer the long name be “MIT No Attribution”. We (Amazon and AWS) very much prefer that the long and short names *NOT* contain “AWS” or “Amazon”. This license is not specific to us, not specific to our software or services, and we would very much like other people to use it as well. ..m Mark Atwood < <mailto:atwo...@amazon.com> atwo...@amazon.com> Principal, Open Source +1-206-604-2198 From: Dennis Clark [mailto:dmcl...@nexb.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2018 10:58 AM To: Atwood, Mark <atwo...@amazon.com> Cc: spdx-legal@lists.spdx.org Subject: Re: New License/Exception Request: MIT No Attribution Hi Mark, There is currently a request for this new license at https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/issues/619 I don't think we have a target date for completion of the request just yet.

This license has proven useful for code that is intended for developers to use as reference, teaching samples, examples, or templates that other developers may modify for their own purposes. In many of these cases, the initial developer may not want to impose even the cost of attribution, or the use cases may not be conducive to attribution. The CC0 and various "do what you want" licenses and various public domain dedications may be less attractive to the initial developer for various reasons (i.e., a license is preferable to a public domain dedication). The MIT license with all the attribution requirement language removed fills this need. * Identify at least one program that uses this license. https://github.com/awslabs/awscli-aliases Thank you! ..m Mark Atwood <atwo...@amazon.com <mailto:atwo...@amazon.com> > Principal, Open Source +1-206-604-2198 <tel:%2B1-206-604-2198> _______________________________________________ Spdx-legal mailing list Spdx-legal@lists.spdx.org <mailto:Spdx-legal@lists.spdx.org> https://lists.spdx.org/mailman/listinfo/spdx-legal
