[coyotos-dev] Coyotos License Policy?

[Jonathan S. Shapiro]

Jeroen:

The snippet you pasted below isn't the three clause BSD license. It's
not even close.

Can you point me at the actual file so that I can look at it.

In abstract, I don't object to this license, but there is a broader
policy issue.

We try to divide our code into two clearly separated groups:

  1. Third-party projects that we are integrating. Obviously we
     are constrained by whatever license we choose.

  2. Code that we are building. For this code we require a joint
     assignment agreement.

So the real answer to your question is: it depends on whether the code
that contains this copyright notice has any interest for us.
