flexidx503,
The BSD license permits liberal reuse, including reuse in commercial software.
Redistributing YUI code in any form without including the license text is not permitted under the terms of the license.
Regardless of the terms under which ExtJS license its product, you will always be able to
download YUI and use it under the terms of the BSD license.
Regards,
Eric

forgot to ask the other question they sell a commercial license can
they sell a commercial license to code that Yahoo wrote and licensed
under BSD?
