OSD Model Code -- Article 1 (Free Distribution)

[Rod Dixon, J.D., LL.M.]

Do you mean clause 5 of version 2.0 of the Artistic License? If so, would
you agree that the proposed change, either your suggestion or Larry's, would
avoid the problem caused by the current Art. 1 of the OSD or do you think
there is still a problem with clause 5?

Rod

: I like the clarity of Larry's , but I think the clumsy wording of
: OSD #1 was to permit the Artistic License clause #5 to qualify.

: Please read the Artistic License clause #5 and see if the
: new proposed wording will continue to treat that license
