New License Request


Sam Ellis
 

Hi,

I would like to propose the addition of the ICU license to the SPDX license list. As compared to the existing SPDX licenses, ICU most closely resembles the X11 license. As compared to the X11 license, ICU does not permit sublicensing and there are different terms around permission notices.

Short name: ICU

Long name: ICU License


License specimen: attached to this email (the copyright years vary between different instances of this license)

OSI approved: no

Evidence of use: The ICU project looks to be under active development according to their website. As an example, the ICU license is used in Eclipse IDE and can be found by downloading this Eclipse plug-in, http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.4/R-4.4.1-201409250400/plugins/com.ibm.icu_52.1.0.v201404241930.jar, extracting the contents and examining the file named about_files/license.html.
