How can one tell that they intend 'use' to mean 'use, copy, distribute and modify' or something like that? It's not obvious from the written text and we've encountered the opposite case before (PINE, seyon pre-GPL, IIRC). I think lack of explicit permission has been a barrier to main in the past and it still should be now. See bug #20914 for example. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only: see http://people.debian.org/~mjr/ Please follow http://www.uk.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
