I know this is off-topic, but I encourage people to NOT invent their own licenses. Take your pick of any of the well-known (Berkeley, MIT, GPL, etc) licenses, and use that. I used to work for a very large corporation. The legal department was (quite reasonably) concerned about use of FOSS, and all open source software we used needed to pass legal review. They were looking for two things. First, that the license didn't obligate the company to anything it didn't want to be obligated to (i.e. they wouldn't allow GPL3). Second, that YOU understood the terms of the license and had a plan in place to comply with all the requirements. The lawyers knew all the major licenses. If you showed up with something that was known (and acceptable) to them, the process was quick and (relatively) painless. If you showed up with some license they had no experience with, they would go off into a huddle and not come out until they were sure they understood it. The usual result was that anything that came with a one-off license was probably more trouble to get approved than it was worth. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
