Educational Community License question

[Jules]

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the reply!
I interpreted that line to mean only to what was printed immediately 
following, without any modification allowed. 
I thought the OSI intended to have the whole thing as listed in the 
webpage in as verbatim and any change would have rendered the license 
invalid and thus not capable of applying the OSI License Mark/Graphic 
on the documentation.  Looks like my assumption was incorrect. :)

So, I guess i can insert my customized notices between these two 
lines:
"Copyright (c) <year> <copyright holders>"
and 
"Licensed under the Educational Community License version 1.0"
and not be in contravention to the OSI license, yes?

Can anyone from the Board or Management of the Open Source Initiative 
confirm this is indeed ok by the OSI? 

Thanks loads!!

Julian

"Slavish adherence to tradition is a sign that one has nothing better 
else to think 
about."
