Re: Does Anyone Recognize this License


Dennis Clark
 

Hi Tom, 

I have most often seen this license text used by Henry Spencer for his Regexp components. 


I would be inclined to call it the "Henry Spencer License" or the "Regexp License", although that might be a bit limiting. 

Regards,
Dennis

I have now run across the license below several times. 

 

It is not on the SPDX list. 

 

It is used frequently in the wild.  (search string "the author is not responsible for the consequences of use of this software, no matter how awful, even if they arise from defects in it".

 

Has there been any previous action to identify or add this license?
