discuss: Update for Submitted License

[Stefan Wachter]

[ Please discuss this license.  Stefan, please tell us the name of
your license!  It's hard to talk about a license without a
name... -russ ]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

a fortnight ago submitted a license for approval that is a mixture of the
Artistic License and the Attribution Assurance License. Now I want to send an
update because I realized that the situation when my package is used in other
open source developments must be clarified.

I want also ask you to post the license to the license-discussion-list.

Many thanks and best regards,

Stefan Wachter

And here is the new version:

<p>Preamble</p>

<p>The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which JBind
may be used, modified, and copied. The conditions state that the Copyright
Holder
maintains some semblance of artistic control over JBind and require that the
Copyright Holder receives a modest attribution in case that JBind is used in
a
commercial environment.

<p>Definitions:</p>

<ul>

<li>	"Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
	Copyright Holder.</li>

<li>	"Modified Package" refers to a collection a files that was created
        through textual modifaction of and additions to the Package.</li>

<li>	"You" is you, if you're thinking about using, modifiying, or
distributing
	this Package.</li>

<li>	"Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the
	basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved,
	and so on.  (You will not be required to justify it to the
	Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at large
	as a market that must bear the fee.)</li>

<li>	"Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item
	itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the item.
	It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it
	under the same conditions they received it.</li>
	
</ul>

<p>
Use, redistribution, and modification of the Package are allowed provided
that the conditions
below are met.</p>

<p>1.   Redistributions of the Package or a Modified Package in source or in
binary form
        must contain this license.</p>

<p>2.   You may use the Package or a Modified Package in any non-commercial
project without limitations.

<p>3.   You may use the Package or a Modified Package in any non-commercial
product
        (propably another open source development) only if this license is
distributed
        with the non-commercial product.

<p>4.   You may use the Package, a Modified Package, or a non-commercial
product that
        contains the Package or a Modified Package in a commercial
environment, e.g.
        a commercial product, a commercial project, or inside a company
        only with the written permission of the Copyright Holder. Normally
        this permission is granted after a modest attribution to the
Copyright Holder.

<p>5.   You may apply bug fixes and portability fixes. Bug fixes
        and portability fixes must be reported to the Copyright Holder in
source form
        to allow their inclusion in the Package.</p>

<p>6.   You may otherwise modify your copy of the Package in any way,
provided
        that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how
and
        when you changed that file, provided that you rename any part that
is not
        compatible with the original Package, and provided that you do at
least ONE of the
        following:</p>

<blockquote>

    <p>a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make
them
    Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or
    an equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive
    site such as ftp.uu.net, or by informing the Copyright Holder to include
    your modifications in the Package.</p>

    <p>b) use the Modified Package only within your corporation or
organization.</p>

</blockquote>

<p>7.   You may distribute the Package or a Modified Package in source or
binary form.
        If a Modified Package is distributed then information about where
the source of
        the Modified Package is available must be contained.</p>

<p>8.   You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
        Package or a Modified Package.  You may charge any fee you choose
for 
        support of this Package or a Modified Package.
        You may not charge a fee for this Package itself.  However,
        you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
        commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial)
software
        distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package as a
        product of your own.</p>
