A License

[Rafi M. Goldberg]

Hey everyone,
	After learning not to expect any official certification for a 
while, I've decided to submit a license I created to see what 
everyone who is active on this list thinks.  It is called the Kennedy 
Open License (KOL), so named because I created it for my school 
(Kennedy High School).  We plan on using it for any CGIs or custom 
software we create for our school's web site.  The license is based 
on BSD, but has many differences.
	Note to any OSI people who might be reading this:  the 
license has been modified a lot since I first submitted it to you. 
And by the way, wouldn't it look really good if a high school went 
Open Source?  All we need is certification...

Sincerely,
Rafi Goldberg
