[License-discuss] CPAL 1.0 License | Badge-ware | Clarification

[McCoy Smith]

FSF’s definition of what is a free software license includes badgeware licenses (because such licenses still meet the 4 software freedoms), but they also do not recommend use of badgeware licenses.  See the comment on the 4-clause BSD:

The fact that FSF also recognizes CPAL as a free software license is an interesting addition to this argument.
