Dear all: I've uploaded a little piece of software just to start to build up some 'real life' examples. I've also restructured the Files area in two folders,...
Dear all: I've deployed a CASBaH (Collective Authoring System Based on Hypertext) at http://www.liacc.up.pt/~maa/cgi-bin/casbah/casbah.cgi A casbah is like a...
... <snip/> ... To what do I have to agree? If I have to agree to that every source file uploaded contains the same structure as yours, then I don't agree....
... I think some parts of it should (must?) be 'rigidly defined', notably the conditions of use warning, and (c) lines. And I'd go for a recommendation for...
... Sure, the copyright and license statement should be defined, but the rest should be up the individual programmer/project group. ... I still got zip in that...
In the case of Ada and XML, one can use bounded string types and other types. For XML, it should be possible to create a special set of annotations. In an Ada...
Hi again, I'm still trying to embed a royalty scheme in an open source license, but I still can't come up with anything good... Here's some questions I have...
... This is what my license (MAA artifacts) does. ... Good point. But you don't want to close the door to a user that wants a 'closed' license, especially if...
... This is what most licenses with the same purposes as ours would probably do. But stating in a license that commercial use is prohibited, could be pretty...
... Matter of style. You can do it positively. I think my license does that. ... Absolutely. ... I think it's possible, albeit difficult, to find a way to do...
... Yes, your license briefly states that authors are entitled to a just compensation. However, I think I'll add a paragraph to my future license text...
... Sorry if you already provided this, but is your (draft?) license available for viewing somewhere? ... We can try a 'general' rule, the refers to a...
Sorry, my memory and/or my email archive is having a fit. I remember someone (Robert?) suggesting a meeting at SIGAda 2003 (?), with a note saying he wouldn't...
To provide an example of the source file structure I like to use (as requested by Mario), I attached one of my (Java) source files. By the way: this is an...

Hi! Nice to know the SDC is alive :-) I still think Bob's license is too long and too attached to Ada and actually too much attached to source-code. The...
It's nice to see a sort of independent confirmation that the 'commercial open source' issues I raise here from time to time are real :-) For now I'll just try...

I have nothing against splitting my text into multiple documents. I converted it to RTF for this purpose and now have both a commercial and a noncommercial...
Quoting "Robert C. Leif" <rleif@...>: "Robert Dewar ... has given excellent presentations on the solutions to the problem of the commercial use of Open...
While I think Bob's license has a lot of interesting stuff in it, I'd have to renew an objection: There isn't now at this time an Ada Developer's Cooperative...

I do like your table and use of equations. This is very similar to what I have previously stated. However, the contribution of the parts must be limited to the...

Marius, It would greatly help, if you would create some definitions or modify mine. Any legal agreement must include a set of definitions. Concerning, "The...
... Yes. I tried to reuse 'common sense' concepts to the maximum extent, exactly in order to avoid a lenght list of definitions. For example in the Conditions ...
My experience as an expert witness in patent cases indicates that "common sense" concepts may not hold up. I prefer to define everything but the simplest...
I realise that composition percentages for relative credit computation may (and probably will) be different from composition for other purposes e.g. complexity...
... OK. ... That is an issue indeed. Note I included "execution" in "use" before. This might be a hint. ... Absolutely. Even more: my vision of the ideal 'body...
