Hi,
Im currently reviewing the "vixie-cron-ng" package (#428007) which is an
enhanced vixie-cron (which is licensed "MIT and BSD") we forked. I'm a
bit unsure if naming the fork that way is allowed in the light of the
3rd BSD clause:
* 3. Neither the name of the University nor the names of its
contributors
* may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this
software
* without specific prior written permission.
The problem I see is that "vixie" is the name of Paul Vixie, the main
contributor and I could imagine that this would be seen as endorsing or
promoting "the product" with his name.
Comments?
Thanks,
Nils
