Hello Open So(u)rcerers,<br><br>In the near future I will be releasing a library. Because this library would work best if widely adopted, I'm going to license it under a permissive license.<br><br>Now as I look at the two-clause BSD license closely, a question comes to mind. The second, binary form-, clause states:<br>
"Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution."<br><br>
The first clause obligates the licensee to keep in the same information (copyright notice, conditions and the disclaimer) in the source code. If the source code is available "in the same way through the same place", would that source code count as "other materials provided with the distribution"? And how about including the source code in the same package?<br>
<br>Not looking for legal advice, I would just like to hear what your thoughts are about this.<br><br>Thanks in advance,<br><br>Pimm Hogeling<br>
