Hi Mark, Philippe, I just had a closer look at this using Alan’s handy License Diff tool, which gave it a close match to MIT-CMU - the only difference between this license and MIT-CMU is: - “and its associated documentation” instead of just “and its documentation” in the first sentence (Permission to use…) - use of the Oxford comma: “use, copy, modify, and distribute” - a comma added after “copies”, as in: “provided that the above copyright notice appears in all copies, and that both…” - a comma after “specific” in last line, as in: “ pertaining to distraction of the software without specific, written…” - “prior permission” instead of “permission” in last sentence of first paragraph.
I can also see (by just doing a naked-eye analysis) how this might also match to a variation of the HPND. What do the other lawyers think though about the difference between this and MIT-CMU? Are these slight variations something we might simply capture with markup and then this license would be a valid match to MIT-CMU? I made a new issue in Github repo to track here: https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/issues/750 Thanks, Jilayne > On Dec 14, 2018, at 1:28 AM, Philippe Ombredanne <pombreda...@nexb.com> wrote: > > Hi Mark: > > On Thu, Dec 13, 2018 at 8:42 PM Mark Atwood via Lists.Spdx.Org > <atwoodm=amazon....@lists.spdx.org> wrote: >> Provide a proposed Full Name for the license or exception. >> Python Imaging Library License > > It looks to me as a proper historical permission (HPND > https://spdx.org/licenses/HPND.html ) > This has been detected by the ScanCode toolkit as an HPND alright and > this is within the "matching guidelines" too IMHO... > unless this additional "prefix" is considered as creating something > entirely new: > "By obtaining, using, and/or copying this software and/or its associated > documentation, you agree that you have read, understood, and will comply with > the following terms and conditions:" ... > > -- > Cordially > Philippe Ombredanne > > +1 650 799 0949 | pombreda...@nexb.com > DejaCode - What's in your code?! - http://www.dejacode.com > AboutCode - Open source for open source - https://www.aboutcode.org > nexB Inc. - http://www.nexb.com > > > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
