I can see the WiwWinLicense group has revived a bit, coincidently with discussions of the SDC Conditions in the OSI forum and privately with Henry and others. ...
"It's open source if you charge someone a fee, but they can pass it on without anyone having to pay anyone anything - but if such second-hand recipients have...
... This is true. See OSD clause #1: [The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software...
... You have a point there. We don't want to look like cheaters. ... Why cooperative? What is cooperative about (for example) one developer writing a great...
... You don't always earn money. Besides, it just doesn't sound very nice (not to me at least). How 'bout: Fair Source / Fair Source License (this would have...
... Maybe we should stay way from "source" to avoid flaming the OSI fellows. ... Any of these sounds good to me. Don't forget "Developers Reward License"....
... Why? We produce source, don't we? Just as they do. They think they can claim the phrase "open source", and to a certain degree they can, but I don't think...
... We won't say that it's 100% open source. We'll only say that it's open source if used in a non-profit way, or if the authors decline any revenue. That we...
... I've looked at it, and it's hardly 10 lines long. Went to the author's website, which is even shorter than that. I don't think that license would form much...
... Yeah, no problem there. Just one more thing to care about then: "fair use" is a legal term, and meaning a different kind of "fairness" than ours (see e.g....
Does anyone know how to archive the Yahoo group information (Messages, Files, Links), in an XML file or something? (To put in on the SDC archives when SDC gets...

... The SDC was founded on the idea of fair source, so it can serve well as the home for the fair source principles and licenses. To me it is its 'natural'...
My plan for the SDC website. First sketch. Top level components: - The Fair Source Principles. Public. - The Licenses. Part public, part restricted to certain...
... Yes, but we'd never be able to use FairSource.org in the same way as OpenSource.org is used. Remember, always keep in mind that things *could* become big,...
... One of the two most important parts. But see my previous message about the name. ... The other most important part. But I don't understand what you want to...
... Naeahh don't worry, just use it, URLs are by the trillions, fair-src fair-source-home... And we can change the name then. We need a name NOW even if only...
Forget the private licenses now. I'll discuss that later. The Laboratory can wait too. - The Fair Source Principles - The Licenses - The Software And more...
