Random thought from Foundations summit
July 22nd, 2008 by HenA random thought I had while attending the Floss Foundations summit was:
“What would an Affero Permissive License look like, and would it be GPL compatible?”
Namely, how would an AfPL differ from Badgeware or the BSD advertising clause. I’m thinking it would be something like adding this clause to the BSD:
“You must prominently reproduce to all users interacting with source or binary forms remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided to the user.”
Anyway - random useless thought of the day. Are we going to see the BSD advertising clause make a comeback?
“3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software must display the following acknowledgement: This product includes software developed by the University of California, Berkeley and its contributors. “
