you want to restrict use to other police forces, you don't open source - you create
a fairly simple template free but 'traditional' (i.e. specific to that user organisation)
licence that you either get signed in the old-fashioned way, or which you
incorporate into an online process in a secure environment accessible to
technologists within other forces (if such a thing exists).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Open
source involves the loss of control over onward distribution and use that you
want to avoid. As to where you would get such a licence, there will be licences
available online, but I see a degree of bespoke elements here which, though not
overly-complicated, would need some thought, and perhaps some input from a
friendly lawyer :)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>I work for a
development team in a UK police force. We produce good quality J2EE
software for the use of principally by my police force. However, as money is
tight across the UK policing now, other forces are looking to adopt solutions
developed by my team in their forces. As ardent consumers of open source tools
in our development environment and component use, I would like other police
forces to use as they see fit my software. However, some of the applications do
have a security risk associated with them if they were licensed according to one
of the standard / recommended licenses. Basically what I would like to do is
give my software away to other police forces so they can modify, copy etc. ,
but impose restrictions on the redistribution of it. I wouldn't be happy for
the software to go to a commercial supplier who then charges for it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
