I am sure that's a part of the problem. However, I am curious how many OSI-approved licenses were actually written by lawyers, percentage wise? Lay modification of a lawyer-written license does not count! > We really need only about two licenses: a reciprocal one and a > non-reciprocal one. Yeah, right! Granting patents one and non-granting patents one. Terminating-if-sued one and perpetual one. Attributing one and non-attributing one. Patches-only one and embedded changes one. Viral and not. And I am sure I am missing a few other variations that some people find essential. Alex. -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
