[License-review] Fwd: For Approval | Open Source Social Network License 1.0

[Syed Arsalan Hussain Shah]

Hi There,

This email is for submission about license.

Rationale: We have launched open source social network software (
opensource-socialnetwork.org) in 2014 and most of open source license
allows usage of software without proper credits to author. We created own
license to assure that the author is properly credited and the credit must
be visible to people who use the product. We have seen the Attribute
assurance license (AAL) but it lacks the assurance of retaining copyright
notice in each copy of the software. This license is fork from AAL.

Distinguish :

Description | AAL | BSD | MIT | OSSNL

Give Credit in visible form | Yes | No | No | Yes
Include Copyright  | - | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes

Hold Liable | No | No | No | No
Modify | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes
Distribute | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes


Proliferation category :  Licenses that are redundant with more popular
licenses
Discussion :
https://github.com/opensource-socialnetwork/opensource-socialnetwork/issues/1356

If anything else is needed or something wrong license and please help us to
correct it, we are open to yours feedback.

Thanks
Arsalan Shah
