	Various Licenses and Comments about Them - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)

	Free software license - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Free software is software which grants recipients the freedom to modify and redistribute the software.
		Put another way, a free software license is a license which grants permissions to the recipient to remove any ownership issues which would otherwise prevent the software from being free software.
		The list distinguishes between free software licenses that are compatible or incompatible with the FSF license of choice, the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license.

	FSF - Licenses
		This is a copyleft free software license, incompatible with the GPL.
		As applied to software, this is not a free software license because it requires all users in whatever country to obey US export control laws.
		Likewise, if you use this license without either of the options to make your manual free, someone else might decide to imitate you, then change his or her mind about the options thinking that that is just a detail; the result would be that his or her manual is non-free.

	CeCILL FREE SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
		The purpose of this Free Software license agreement is to grant users the right to modify and redistribute the software governed by this license within the framework of an open source distribution model.
		In this respect, the risks associated with loading, using, modifying and/or developing or reproducing the software by the user are brought to the user's attention, given its Free Software status, which may make it complicated to use, with the result that its use is reserved for developers and experienced professionals having in-depth computer knowledge.
		Users are therefore encouraged to load and test the suitability of the software as regards their requirements in conditions enabling the security of their systems and/or data to be ensured and, more generally, to use and operate it in the same conditions of security.

	New Free Software License Takes Aim at Patents ExtremeTech - Find Articles
		Free software needs to be licensed under specific rules to guarantee that it can be freely studied, copied, modified, reused, shared and redistributed.
		The license needs to be adapted to a world in which e-commerce firms like Amazon.com have patented 'one click ordering' which prevents software makers from freely using such a feature in their programs, said the president of the Free Software Foundation Europe, Georg Greve.
		The idea is that if someone uses software patents against free software, that company or person loses the right to distribute that particular program and use it in their product, he added.

		Software shall be licensed for a period of two years from the date of registration and transmission of software registration number to Licensee.
		If any provision of this License is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent under applicable law, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions of this License will remain in full force and effect.

	License-free software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		License-free software is software that is copyrighted but which is not accompanied by a software license.
		On his page about software users' rights Bernstein explains his belief that under the terms of copyright law itself software users are always allowed to modify software for their own personal use, regardless of license agreements.
		The philosophical disagreement still causes problems for License-Free Software, not least because the free software and open source philosophies are far stronger influences than the "license-free" philosophy is, and thus hamper the spread of license-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.
		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.

	Free Software - License Agreements
		To understand the concept, you should think of ``free'' as in ``free speech,'' not as in ``free beer.'' We will start with one of the most general licenses which is named GNU General Public License.
		These two main points make it sure that the software is copyleft which is a general method for making a program freesoftware and requiring all modified and extended versions of the program to be free software as well.
		This is a free software license which is not a strong copyleft.

	the djb way: License Free Software
		These files represent their authors' terms of use for the software on your system, supposedly enumerating to varying degrees what you can and can't do with it, and what the author can and can't do to you.
		The idea is, just by using the software, you are agreeing to all the terms, obligations and restrictions specified by the author.
		You should also note that Bernstein is an especially ardent opponent of software patents, and his long-running legal battle with the US government --who attempted to stifle publication of his crypto work-- is legendary.

	Open Source Initiative OSI - Welcome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		You can read about successful software products that have these properties, and about our certification mark and program, which allow you to be confident that software really is "Open Source." We also make copies of approved open source licenses here.
		And this can happen at a speed that, if one is used to the slow pace of conventional software development, seems astonishing.
		We in the open source community have learned that this rapid evolutionary process produces better software than the traditional closed model, in which only a very few programmers can see the source and everybody else must blindly use an opaque block of bits.
