<div><div> I have mentioned some time back that I was working on a new strong
network copyleft license. The result is the Cryptographic Autonomy
License, which I described at CopyleftConf. I wrote up an explainer
laying out the legal rationales behind the CAL: <br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.processmechanics.com/2019/03/15/the-cryptographic-autonomy-license/" target="_blank">https://www.processmechanics.com/2019/03/15/the-cryptographic-autonomy-license/</a> <br></div><div><br></div><div>Specifically
of note are a) the use of patent rights to enforce copyleft, b) the use
of the public performance right as the hook, and c) the definition of
the "Work" as including interfaces.</div><div><br></div><div>
<div>The CAL is a strongly pro-software-freedom license, and so, I would
particularly welcome criticism by anyone coming from that perspective.<br></div></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,<br></div><div>Van</div><div><br></div>PS:
The page at my blog is free software-friendly. There is no proprietary
Javascript loaded by the page, and I have also included a PDF copy of
the license for anyone who would prefer not to use the Google Docs link.</div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail-adL"><div><br></div></div>
