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

[Kevin P. Fleming]

It is unlikely that this will be approved as an OSD-compliant license,
since requiring users to keep code in the project when they use or
distributed modified versions conflicts with the OSD. Copyright
notices and even attribution notices are one thing, but code which
requires runtime behavior is something else.

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.
