Proposal for OSI Certification: The SteelBlue License

Dear Sir or Madam:
My name is Robert Buccigrossi, Ph.D. ("Butch"), part of the Turner
Consulting Group. We have released the application server "SteelBlue"
at http://www.steelblue.com/ , and as we are approaching our first
stable release, we were hoping to prepare it for wider distribution. We
feel that part of this is ensuring that what we claim as "Open Source"
is truly open source. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate your
posting the following license (listed after my signature) to the
license-discuss list. I am happy to be identified as one of the
authors, and will happily entertain questions and comments at my e-mail
address mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] . The main goals of this license is:
- To impose no restrictions upon the use of the software (i.e.
educational and commercial use is permitted)
- Applications developed using this application server do not have
to be open source (i.e. can be commercial and sold)
- Modifications made to the software, if released, should be
reported to the original authors (i.e. TCG)
- To permit the original authors (i.e. TCG) to be able to release
a commercial version of the software in the future if they choose
- Hold the original authors (i.e. TCG) not liable for any defects
in the program
- To be legally binding in the United States (we've had fun wrestling
with our lawyers over wording :)
Thank you so much for your time, and we look forward to your
suggestions.
Butch
(Licence text follows, same as reported by Jeffry Smith)
