It's an Open Data rather than an Open Source license, which makes it out of our scope, but it looks like it would otherwise qualify. It's basically a 3-clause BSD license, with two additional clauses: 1) The licensor warrants that there is no third-party intellectual property in the data. This is not practical for software licenses, because it's always possible that someone holds a U.S patent in the "machine" represented by the software. 2) The license is governed by French law. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan [email protected] All Gaul is divided into three parts: the part that cooks with lard and goose fat, the part that cooks with olive oil, and the part that cooks with butter. --David Chessler _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
