Dear License-Review list and Board:
Below is the recommendation of the License Committee with respect to the
YATeam Open Source License.
Best regards,
Pam
Pamela Chestek
Chair, License Committee
Open Source Initiative
==============
License: YATeam Open Source License (Exhibit A)
Submitted: Feb. 21, 2021,
http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2021-February/005106.html
Decision date: due no later than the first Board meeting after April 22,
2021.
License Review Committee Recommendation:
Resolved that it is the opinion of the OSI that the YATeam Open Source
License does not conform to the OSD and assure software freedom and the
license is therefore not approved.
_Rationale Document_
Reasons for withholding approval:
The license is a modification of the GNU General Public License version
2 with some unacceptable changes. In particular:
The license is revocable, § 16, which is violation of OSD 3.
In §§ 13-17, the license has unintelligible provisions requiring the use
of "authorization codes." The purpose and use of these codes is unclear
and the failure to comply with the terms invalidates the license, i.e.,
the use of the code becomes unlicensed. This is likely to be a violation
of OSD 1.
Note also that the submission was incomplete and the license submitter
did not respond to emails suggesting that additional information needed
to be provided.
_Exhibit A_
YATeam Open Source License
Copyright (C) 2018, 2021 YATeam,Org.
CN
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
share and change it. By contrast, the YOS General Public License is
intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software–to
make sure the software is free for all its users. Most of the programs
released or to be released by YATeam adopt the general public license of
YOS. You can apply it to your programs, too.
YOS is a General Public License issued by YATeam based on the
characteristics of existing General Public License and its own needs. It
will protect the rights and interests of authors and users to the
maximum e § 16. xtent.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software, (3) Any reproduction,
distribution and modification requires the author’s express
authorization and unique number, but the author shall not charge or
charge in disguise during this process.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents.
We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must
be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under
the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers
to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means
either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is
to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either
verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term
"modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running
the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is
covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program
(independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that
is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the program's source
code in any way upon receipt of the program in any form, provided that
you prominently and properly publish the appropriate copyright notice
and disclaimer, as well as the author's unique authorization code, on
each copy, and show the means of verification; all statements regarding
this license are reserved without any warranty; and you shall provide
the any other recipient provides a copy of this license and this program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute
such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided
that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole
or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof,
to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the
terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in
the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user
how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is
interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work
based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and
can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on
the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this
License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a
storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the
scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source
code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to
give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically
performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the
corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only
for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in
object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
Subsection b above.)
d) Accompany it with the unique authorization code you obtained and the
query method of authorization code.
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code
means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special
exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is
normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access
to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy
the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source
code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source
along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense or distribute this program
except as expressly provided in this license. Any attempt to otherwise
copy, modify, sublicense or distribute this program shall be void and
shall automatically terminate your rights under this license. However,
parties receiving copies or rights from you under this license agreement
will not terminate their license agreement as long as they are fully
compliant and the author expressly provides for inheritable rights.
5. You do not need to accept this license because you have not signed
it. However, there are no other rights granted to you to modify or
distribute this program or its derivative works. If you do not accept
this license, these actions will be prohibited by law. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing this program (or any work based on this
program), you accept this license and accept all terms and conditions
for copying, distributing or modifying this program or any work based on
this program.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions
on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute
so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and
any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would
not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who
receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you
could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented
by public license practices. Many people have made generous
contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that
system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to
the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be
a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of this program is restricted by
patent or copyright protected interface in some countries (regions), the
original copyright owner who places this program under this license may
add explicit geographical distribution restrictions (excluding those
countries), so that distribution is allowed only in countries or regions
not excluded. If there is no clear geographical distribution restriction
and there is a conflict with the laws and regulations of this country
and region, this license will automatically lapse, and you may not
distribute and/or use this program in any way. In this case, this
license contains restrictions as if written in the body of this license.
9. YATeam may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public
License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit
to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems
or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
YATeam. If the Program does not specify a version number of this
License, you may choose any version ever published by YATeam.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the
author to ask for permission.
Our decision will follow three goals, namely, to maintain the free state
of all derivatives of our free software, to promote the overall sharing
and reuse of software generally, and to maximize the rights of program
owners and you.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH
YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF
THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR
OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Program Publisher Specification
13. If you use this license, you must provide your contact information
so that the user can contact you and obtain a unique authorization code,
which is in duplicate, stored in your database and sent to the user in
writing or email. The authorization code must correspond to a unique
user, otherwise it will be invalid and this license will be invalid
automatically.The whole process of authorization shall not be charged in
any form and shall not claim any rights.
14. You must provide an authorization code query method for users to
query. Please note that the inquiry process shall not charge or charge
any fees in disguise, and shall not claim any additional rights,
otherwise this license will automatically lapse.
15. You can also entrust a third party to provide corresponding services
free of charge, but the third party has the right to charge you. If you
entrust a third party, you must issue the relevant statement and
publicize it. Similarly, the third party must publicize your written
permission.
16. You may at any time, with reasonable reasons, revoke the
authorization of any program based on your program for copying,
distributing and/or modifying, and the legality of the non original
program shall immediately lapse and shall not be used for any purpose.
17. If you do not provide contact information and/or inquiry
information, and do not declare that the authorization code can be
removed, this license will automatically lapse.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
One line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.
Copyright (C)
(No need to add)
(If this item is not added, this license will automatically lapse)
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
under the terms of the YOS General Public License as published by
YATeam; either version 1 of the License, or (at your option) any later
version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the YOS General
Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the YOS General Public License along
with this program; if not, write to the YATeam, Org., yatserv at gmail.com
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision
comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type ‘yos w'. This is
free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain
conditions; type ‘yos c' for details.
The hypothetical commands ‘yos w' and ‘yos c' should show the
appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands
you use may be called something other than ‘yos w' and ‘yos c'; they
could even be mouse-clicks or menu items–whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
necessary.
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications
with the library.

> How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
>
> If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
> possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
> free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
> terms.
>
> To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
> attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
> convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
> the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
> One line to give the program’s name and a brief idea of what it does.
>
> Copyright (C)
> (No need to add)
>
> (If this item is not added, this license will automatically lapse)
> This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
> modify it under the terms of the YOS General Public License as

> Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
> Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type
> ‘yos w’. This is free software, and you are welcome to
> redistribute it under certain conditions; type ‘yos c’ for details.
>
> The hypothetical commands ‘yos w’ and ‘yos c’ should show the
> appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the
> commands you use may be called something other than ‘yos w’ and ‘yos
> c’; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items–whatever suits your
> program.
> You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
> your school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program,
> if necessary.
> This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
