Free software licenses can not be revoked. If a license can be revoked, it wasn't a free software license in the first place. A revocation clause violates section 1 of the DFSG because it places a restriction on the selling or giving away of the software in question. Therefore, any license with such a clause is not a free software license. > [other stuff deleted] -- Brian Ristuccia [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
