The reason is because of the wording: 3. All use of this software and associated advertising materials must display the following acknowledgement: This product includes software developed by Ben Summers. This differs from the standard BSD with advertising in that it includes the words "all use of this software". This is probably just a case of poor license drafting, but even if he means that interactive programs must display an acknowledgement, as written the clause goes beyond that. The obvious way to make this free would be to reword it to match BSD with advertising (as sick as it makes me to type that): 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software must display the following acknowledgement: This product includes software developed by Ben Summers. Even better would be for it to drop the advertising clause altogether and use stock BSD, because it also eliminates the GPL incompatibility caused by the advertising clause. As it stands now, this is blocked for Fedora. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
