on the variability of BSD and MIT licenses
dmg
Hi everybody,
This term I taught a course on Intellectual Property and Software Development. the students were expected to conduct some research as part of the evaluation. One of them, Trevor Maryka (who I think is also subscribed to this list) took on the problem of trying to determine how 'variable' are the BSD and the MITs and what this means for their standardization under SPDX. he makes a set of recommendations to SPDX (see section 5). I am attaching his paper. It is, in my opinion, very good news for SPDX. -- Daniel M. German "Beauty is the first test; there is no permanent place in the world for ugly G. H.
